Plants hydrotropism

Phosphate esters are widely used in metalworking and lubricants. A C12 h with 6 mol of ethylene oxide (diester) can be used as an emulsifier but also as an extreme pressure additive - it can reduce wear where there is high pressure metal to metal contact. PEs can also show corrosion inhibiting properties, as with petroleum sulphonates and the emulsifying power of PEs with low foam is used in agrochemical formulations. PEs can act as dispersants or hydrotropes in plant protection formulations, allowing the development of easy-to-handle and dilute formulations of both poorly miscible and insoluble herbicides.
