Difference Between Ionic And Nonionic Surfactants

 Nonionic surfactant that does not generate ions in aqueous solution. Its dissolution in water is due to its strong affinity for water.

 

Compared with anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactant products have a higher emulsifying ability and a certain resistance to hard water. It is an indispensable ingredient in detergent and emulsifier formulations. Of course, compared with anionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants also have the disadvantages of limited cloud point, poor alkali resistance, and high price.

 

Non-ionic surfactants are mostly liquid and slurry, and their solubility in water decreases with increasing temperature. Non-ionic surfactants have various properties such as washing, dispersing, emulsifying, wetting, adding liquid, uniform dyeing, antiseptic, protective colloid and so on. Widely used in textile, paper, food, plastic, leather, fur, glass, petroleum, chemical fiber, medicine, pesticide, paint, dye, fertilizer, film, photography, metal processing, mineral processing, building materials, environmental protection, cosmetics, fire protection, agriculture every aspect.

 

Ionic surfactants have different names on different occasions, such as dispersants, moisturizers, soaps, etc.

 

When the surfactant is dissolved in water, the ionized ions are called ionic surfactants.

 

It is a large class of emulsifiers, which can be divided into anionic type (the hydrophilic group in the emulsifier molecule is anion, such as fatty acid soap, etc.) and cationic type (the hydrophilic group in the emulsifier molecule is a cation, such as quaternary ammonium salt, Etc.) and amphoteric surfactants (surfactants with both positively and negatively charged molecules can become positive or negatively charged in PH medium, including lecithin, amino acids and betaine type).

Difference Between Sulfate And Sulfonate In Shampoo

  Sulfates and sulfonates have two things in common. First, they're all anionic surfactants. Second, they are often used for personal care applications. But there are many differences. They have different molecular mechanisms. They have different functions and they have different raw materials.   Sulfates Sulfate is a compound. It has carbon bonds and oxygen and sulfur bonds. They include substances such as sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate.   At low pH, these substances plus the c-o-s bond hydrolyze to produce alcohol and inorganic sulfate. At a high pH, sulfate is stable in the base and, if ethoxylated to a relatively high level, produces a low-foaming alkali-soluble surfactant. Sulphates can be prepared by reaction of fatty alcohol or fatty alcohol ethoxylates with reagents such as SO3 or chlorosulfonic acid (CSA).   The reason shampoo becomes thick foam in the shower is that it contains sulfate. Most shampoos and household cleansers contain su...

What is Polyether Polyol

  Polyether polyol is prepared by ring-opening polymerization of epoxide monomers (such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and 1,2-epoxybutane) and a compound containing two or more active hydrogen atoms (called an initiator). In the presence of alkali catalyst, active hydrogen compounds initiate ring opening and oxide addition will continue until the required molecular weight is obtained. The number of hydroxyl groups in polyether polyol is determined by the number of unstable hydrogen atoms in the initiator. If the initiator has two active hydrogen, glycol will be formed. The reactivity of polyether polyol  to isocyanates depends on the initiator and the type of epoxy monomer that ends the ring-opening polymerization. The primary hydroxyl produced by polyol capped with ethylene oxide is more reactive than the secondary hydroxyl produced by propylene oxide, which is ideal for applications requiring rapid curing time. However, the use of initiator based on ethylene oxide and a...

What is Expandable Microsphere?

  Brief Introduction of Expandable Microsphere The color of the expandable microspheres  is white. Its average particle size is 10-30 μ m. Its average density is about 1100 kg / m 3 . It has a thermoplastic shell comprising a low boiling liquid hydrocarbon. When the thermoplastic shell is softened at elevated temperatures, the increased pressure of the hydrocarbon will cause the microspheres to expand 40 to 100 times. When the internal pressure of the microsphere, the shell tension and the external pressure reach equilibrium, the microspheres no longer expand. Expandable microspheres have become the world's lightest application because the density of expanded microspheres is less than 30 kg / m3 (0.03 g / cm3).   Characteristics of Expandable Microsphere The first feature is cost savings. In thermoplastic materials such as PR, PP, PVC, PET, TPR, TPU, TPV, PA and paper/paperboard, expandable microspheres can be used as lightweight fillers and blowing agents. Expandable mic...
