The Six Basic Functions of Surfactants 2026-05-22
Surfactants are amphiphilic compounds widely used in textile dyeing and finishing, daily chemicals, and industrial formulations. They effectively reduce surface and interfacial tension through interfacial adsorption and micellization, providing six core functions: wetting and penetration, emulsification, dispersion, foaming, solubilization, and detergency. This article explains the working principles, classification, typical products, and application scenarios of these functions to support practical selection and efficient use of surfactants.
