The difference between cationic surfactants and anionic surfactants
The core difference between cationic and anionic surfactants lies in their ionic charge — and that single difference determines how they behave, what they’re compatible with, and where they’re used. The Fundamental Difference: Charge Anionic Surfactant Cationic Surfactant Head group charge Negative (-) Positive (+) Common head groups Sulfonate (-SO₃⁻), sulfate (-OSO₃⁻), carboxylate (-COO⁻), phosphate…
