Surfactants are used in both water-borne and solvent-based adhesive formulations. They are added to formulations to provide characteristics like reduce surface tension, improved flow and wetting without negatively impacting adhesion. Learn about the classification of surfactants along with their mechanism in detail. Also, get selection & formulation tips for surfactants you can benefit from and the trends driving developments of new surfactants.
Cleansing agents remove contaminants from a substrate, be it hair or skin. Cleansers used in cosmetic products are based on:
• the surfactant chemistry and
• its structural properties for shaping the delivery and user experience of the product
However, selecting the right type of surfactant for a particular application is challenging. Here’s a solution to all your problems.
In this guide, explore the classes of surfactants available in the market today. Learn how to select the right chemistry depending on your product requirements. We have listed some unique formulation examples of surfactants/cleansers used in hair care and facial care products for you.
