Available products in this category

Amphoteric Surfactants

Amphoteric surfactants are commonly used in personal care products, like shampoos, cleansers and cosmetics. They have zero net charge and help to reduce the surface tension of water across a wide pH range, enhancing formulation effectiveness.

Airsurf SXS-30


Anionic Surfactants

Anionic surfactants are frequently used in personal care products, soaps, detergents and other cleaning formulations. They work to remove dirt and stains by reducing water surface tension.

Cationic Surfactants

The hydrophobic nature of anionics make them ideal for hair conditioners.

Airsurf BAC 50


Chelates

The stabilising effects of chelates are used in cosmetics to protect against unwanted metal ion reactions in hair care and soaps.

Hydrotropes

Hydrotropes are known to enhance the solubility of surfactants and are key in laundry and cleaning products.

Nonionic Surfactants

Nonionic surfactants reduce the surface tension of water, improving the mixing of substances. They can be used in personal care and detergent products, particularly for low-foam formulations and for emulsifying oils.
