Surface active agent is a type of chemical that can reduce liquid surface tension and improve liquid communication and moisture. According to their chemical structure and action, surfactants can be divided into the following main types:
Catalogenic surfactant: In the aquatic solution, the main component of the cationic surfactant is organic ions with positive charge. They are often used in products such as soft agents, bactericides, corrosion agents.
Activant surfactant: In the aqueous solution, the main component of the anion surfactant is organic ions with negative charges. The anion surface activated agent has a good reduction of surface tension and emulsification ability, and is commonly used in products such as detergents, cleaner and emulsifiers.
Non -ion surface active agent: Non -ion surfactants are not charged, and their molecular structure contains hydroxyl, polyoxide ethylene chain or polyoxyethylene/polyoxy acrylic chain. Non -ion surfactants have good decentralization and thickening effects, and are commonly used in products and other products such as detergent, emulsifier and moisturizers.
Natural surfactant: Natural surfactant is surfactant extracted from natural sources such as animals and plants, such as gallate and soap groups. They have renewable and biodegradability, and they have good performance and environmental friendship in certain applications.
Ion hybrid surfactant: Ion hybrid surfactant is composed of a mixture of cations and anion surfactants. It can adjust the proportion of cations and anion as required. They have a wide range of applications and are common in products such as detergents, cleansing agents, soft agents and emulsifiers.
Fat -alcohol polyoxyethylene ether surfactants: The molecular structure of this type of surfactant is composed of fattyol and polyoxyethylene ether or polyoxy acrylic ether. They have good permeability and humidity, and are often used in products such as cleaners, moisturizers, emulsifiers.
These types of surfactants have different properties and functions in different application areas. Choosing a suitable surfactant depends on specific application requirements and required performance characteristics. Comprehensive consideration of the product’s characteristics and environmental environment must be followed, and relevant regulations and safety regulations are followed.
