What it is used for and where
Cosmetics
Hydrotrope (solubilizing agents). This compound has the property of facilitating the miscibility of other compounds that are poorly soluble in water and does not form micelles in the solubilisation process, even with a chemical reaction of complexation or molecular aggregation. The two fundamental solubilisation factors are the hydrotropic-solute association mediated by the depression of water activity and ionic dissociation.

Viscosity decreasing Agent. Since viscosity is important for increasing the chemical and physical stability of the product, Viscosity Reducing Agent is an important dosage factor in gels, suspensions, emulsions, solutions.
