Surfactants

Surfactants, a key category under surfactants and detergents, are compounds that significantly reduce surface and interfacial tension between different phases, such as liquids, solids, and gases. These versatile molecules are essential in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food processing, and cleaning products. Surfactants function by adsorbing at the interface, thereby modifying the surface properties and enhancing processes like emulsification, foaming, and wetting. This category includes a broad range of surfactants, from anionic, cationic, nonionic, to amphoteric types, each offering unique properties suited for specific applications. Their ability to stabilize mixtures and improve product performance makes surfactants indispensable in both industrial applications and everyday products.
