1. Cleaning & Disinfectants

• Hydrotrope in Liquid Cleaners: SCS improves the solubility of high concentrations of surfactants, allowing clear and stable liquid detergent formulations.
• Viscosity Reducer: Reduces the thickness of concentrated detergent systems, enabling easy handling and pumping without affecting cleaning performance.
• Stabilizer for Multi-Component Systems: Prevents phase separation in formulations that contain oils, fragrances, surfactants, and other actives.

2. Personal Care 

• Solubilizer for Fragrances and Oils: Used to solubilize essential oils, perfumes, and lipophilic actives in shampoos, face washes, and lotions, maintaining formulation clarity.
• Enhancer for Mild Surfactant Systems: Helps support foam formation and cleansing in products using milder surfactants by maintaining component compatibility.
• Texture and Clarity Modifier: Ensures clear formulations and smooth texture in transparent personal care products like shower gels and cleansers.

3. Fabric Solutions

• Dispersant in Dyeing Processes: Helps disperse dyes and reduce streaking or patchy coloration on fabrics during textile processing.
• Wetting and Penetrating Agent: Assists in even wetting of fibers, ensuring better dye or chemical uptake in textile treatments.

4. Agrochemicals 

• Carrier in Pesticide Formulations: Used as a hydrotrope and solubilizer to allow stable emulsification of active ingredients in pesticides and herbicides.
• Spray Adjuvant Component: Improves coverage and spreading on plant surfaces, leading to better absorption and efficacy of agricultural sprays.

5. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

• Dispersant in Water-Based Paints: Ensures uniform distribution of pigments and fillers, preventing settling and improving the shelf life of paints.
• Additive in Emulsion Polymerization: Enhances monomer and polymer compatibility during the production of emulsion-based paints and coatings.

6. Energy

• Emulsion Stabilizer in Fracturing Fluids: Used in fracking fluids to maintain emulsified systems, improving delivery of actives and flow performance.
• Additive in Cleaning and Maintenance Fluids: Improves the solubilization of organic residues in oilfield maintenance and cleaning applications.

 7. Pulp & Paper Solutions

• Cleaner for Process Equipment: Helps dissolve pitch, resin, and ink residues from rollers and tanks during routine maintenance.
• Aid in Deinking and Recycled Paper Processing: Used to help break down and remove inks from recycled fibers, increasing brightness and paper quality.

8. Performance Chemicals

• Coupling Agent in Complex Formulations: Ensures compatibility of multiple ingredients in blended chemical products, especially where surfactants, solvents, and oils are combined.
• Carrier or Diluent in Reaction Mixtures: Acts as a non-reactive carrier for active chemicals in sulfonation, alkylation, or other industrial syntheses.
