  • Detergency - an excellent detergent for textile fabrics and nonporous hard surfaces. Its exceptional wetting, dispersing, emulsifying and solubilizing properties enable it to be used alone or in combination with the usual builders. This product may typically be found in hard surface cleaners and laundry detergent formulations.
  • Dispersing - very useful in dispersing and suspending a variety of solids such carbon black, clay, color pigments and soil. It acts as a useful dispersant for urethanes. When used in combination with T-Det A139, it is an excellent dispersant for polydimethylsiloxane fluids.
  • Wetting agent - a superior wetting and rewetting agent for general applications like dust settling, corrosion inhibitors, metal cleaning and pickling.
