Performance and application: S-20 has little solubility in mineral oil, Isopropanol, tetrachloroethylene and xylene, difficult to solve in water, and is milky solution after dispersion. It is used as W/O emulsifier in medicine, cosmetics and textiles industries. S-40 is used as dispersants of printing ink and oil-emulsifying, emulsifiers of emulsion polymerization, effective additives of water-resistant textile, emulsifier and finishing agent near well in oil field. S-60 is used as constituents of synthetic fiber finish oil, soften agents of fiber post processing, and emulsifiers in plastic and pesticide industry. S-80 is used as finish oil of cord of Nylon and building of finish oil for polyacrylonitrile fiber, and also used in such industries as oil drilling, printing ink, cosmetics, high-grade scouring agent, metal cutting, and machining, in addition, as emulsified explosion and food additives.
