Surface Activity:
Exhibits excellent surface-active properties, reducing surface tension and aiding in the emulsification of oil and water.
Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Balance:
The combination of the oleyl group (hydrophobic) and hydroxyethyl group (hydrophilic) makes it effective in stabilizing emulsions.
Thermal and Chemical Stability:
Retains performance under high-temperature and chemically aggressive conditions, making it suitable for industrial environments.

Corrosion Inhibitor:

Used extensively in oil and gas pipelines, production chemicals, and drilling fluids to protect metal surfaces from corrosion.
Effective in preventing both general and localized corrosion.

Emulsifier:

Plays a role in formulating oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions for industrial and cosmetic applications.
Commonly used in cutting fluids and metalworking emulsions.

Antistatic Agent:

Reduces static electricity buildup in industrial processes and certain consumer products.

Surfactant:

Incorporated into formulations for detergents and cleaners to enhance their wetting and cleaning properties.
