Amphoteric Surfactant

 Amphoteric surfactants are surfactants that contain both an anionic hydrophilic group and a cationic hydrophilic group in the same molecule. The most important feature is that it can both give and receive protons. It has the following characteristics: excellent softness and smoothness and antistatic properties for fabric; certain degree of bactericidal and anti-mildew function; good emulsifying and dispersing properties. It is a mild surfactant. Amphoteric surfactants differ from single anionic and cationic surfactants in that both acidic and basic groups exist at one end of the molecule. Most of the acidic groups are carboxyl, sulfonic or phosphoric acid groups, and the basic groups are amine groups or quaternary ammonium groups. They can be compounded with anionic and nonionic surfactants and are resistant to acids, alkalis, salts and alkaline earth metal salts.

 

Amphoteric Surfactant List

The lecithin in the egg yolk is a natural amphoteric surfactant. Nowadays, artificial amphoteric surfactants are commonly used, and the anion part thereof is mostly a carboxylic acid group, and a few are a sulfonic acid group. Most of its cations are amine salts or quaternary ammonium salts. Ammonium salts constitute the amino acid type, and quaternary ammonium salts form the betaine type.

 

Amphoteric surfactants can be effectively applied to mild, biodegradable and highly efficient home or industrial utility cleaning formulations, and any application of amphoteric surfactants has a lot to do with synergy. The mildness and moderate cleanliness of the amphoteric surfactants are better than conventional soaps and can, therefore, be used well in hand sanitizers. Its stability at high pH values is very beneficial for its use in metal cleaning. Amphoteric surfactants are used in other industrial cleaning agents such as high-pressure cleaners, traffic fouling removers and foam cleaners as ome of the dirt cannot be completely removed by mechanical flushing. Nonionic surfactants are commonly used as penetrants and lubricants in such cleaners. They do not interact directly with normal soiled membranes, but it is possible that a synergistic effect occurs.

Difference Between Sodium Laureth Sulfate And Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Sodium laureth ether sulfate  (SLS) and sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) are surfactants that play a role in foaming products. It is widely believed that the foam produced by a product is its performance. The composition of SLS and SLES reduces the surface tension of water. They can also be used as dispersants to properly mix spices and body spray. SLS and SLES can also be used in a variety of personal care products such as soap, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste and other foaming products. SLS and SLES are also added to moisturizing lotions and sunscreens because of these properties. The difference between SLS and SLES is in the manufacturing process. SLS undergo a process called ethoxylation. And then you get SLES. Why do we have this ethoxylation process? Because SLS has some mild irritation on the skin, such as dry. The manufactured SLES are more gentle and do not irritate the skin. Many manufacturers do not use SLS because it is irritating. SLES should be softer o...

Polyether Polyol Vs Polyester Polyol

Polye s ter Polyol Vs Polyet h er Polyol   Polyester polyol , which are organic substances, are usually formed by condensation (or transesterification) of an organic dicarboxylic acid (anhydride or ester) with a polyol (including a diol) or by polymerization of a lactone with a polyol. The dibasic acid is phthalic acid or phthalic anhydride or an ester thereof, adipic acid, halogenated phthalic acid or the like. The polyether alcohol is ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol or the like. Different types of polyester polyols have different properties due to different types or different preparation processes. Several indicators that are important for polyester polyols are hydroxyl number, acid value, moisture, viscosity, molecular weight, density, and color. Characteristics and uses of polyester polyols: Polyester-based polyurethane contains a large number of polar groups such as ester groups and amino groups in the molecule, an...
