2. Detailed Applications
Core Functions
- Nonionic Surfactant: Reduces surface tension in aqueous solutions (20-30 mN/m reduction)
- Emulsification: Stabilizes oil-water interfaces at 0.5-2% concentration
- Wetting Agent: Lowers contact angle to 15°-25° on hydrophobic surfaces
- Dispersant: Maintains particle suspension for 24-48 hours
- Solubilizer: Increases API solubility by 3-5x in pharmaceutical formulations
Industry-specific Uses
- Pharmaceuticals: Vaccine adjuvant (0.1-0.5% in formulations)
- Cosmetics: Stabilizer in O/W emulsions (1-3% concentration)
- Agrochemicals: Enhances herbicide penetration by 40-60%
- Industrial Cleaning: Reduces wash cycles by 25% in metal degreasing
3. Usage Scenarios
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Used in mRNA vaccine production at 0.3% concentration to stabilize lipid nanoparticles, achieving 85% encapsulation efficiency.
Cosmetic Formulation
Enables stable vitamin C serums (15% L-ascorbic acid) with 12-month shelf life at 0.8% dosage.
Agrochemical Development
