Surfactant compounds are of the general formula (I): R1~(R2~)X1~CH~2CH(OH)CH~2(OA)~nOR3~ (I) where R1~ is hydrocarbyl; R2~ is hydrocarbyl; R2~ is H or hydrocarbyl; X1~ is a nitrogen containing group as defined, and R3~ is hydrocarbyl, and X1~ n and AO have defined meanings, provided that at least one group R1~, R2~ or R3~ is or contains a C~6 to C~3 0 hydrocarbyl group. The compounds of the formula (I) can function as surfactants in agrochemical formulations, particularly as emulsifiers, wetti ng agents, dispersants, thickeners or solubilisers and, especially as adjuvants ; or as and, especially for amino oxide or quaternary compounds, in personal care formulations or as fabric softeners. The compounds can be used as adjuvants particularly where the agrochemical is a plant growth regulator, herbicide, and/or pesticide, for example insecticides, fungicides, acaricide s, nematocides, miticides, rodenticides, bactericides, molluscicides and/or a bird repellent. Particularly useful formulations include water soluble herbicide(s), particularly such as Glyphosate, Sulfosate, Glufosinate and Paraquat.
