(Fatty alcohol) – one of the core members of surfactants
What is fatty alcohol Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols with carbon chains of 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Fatty alcohols usually have an even number of carbon atoms and a hydroxyl group attached to the end of the carbon chain. They are one of the raw materials for surfactants used in detergents,...Read more -
Application of Surfactants in Highway Engineering
Surfactants (also known as surface-active substances) are indispensable chemical auxiliaries in the development of industry and agriculture, with the advantage of achieving significant results with small dosage. Especially after World War II, with the development of petrochemical industry, the ra...Read more -
Application of surfactants in oilfield production
1、Surfactants used for heavy oil extraction Due to the high viscosity and poor fluidity of heavy oil, it brings many difficulties to exploitation. To extract such heavy oil, aqueous solutions of surfactants are sometimes injected into the wellbore to convert the high-viscosity heavy oil into low...Read more -
The mechanism of action of surfactant solubilizers and the factors affecting solubilization
In the field of chemistry, some organic compounds, due to their properties of being insoluble or slightly soluble in water, bring many inconveniences to practical applications. However, when these organic compounds coexist with surfactants, their solubility increases significantly, a phenomenon k...Read more -
Cationic surfactant
Cationic surfactants are mainly nitrogen-containing organic amine derivatives. Since the nitrogen atom in their molecules contains a lone pair of electrons, it can combine with the hydrogen in acid molecules through hydrogen bonds, causing the amino group to carry a posi...Read more -

Moreover, it is being increasingly applied in various industries and all kinds of industrial production. detergent S...Read more -
Antistatic effect of surfactants
The detergency of surfactants is a fundamental property that gives surfactants their most practical uses. It is involved in the daily lives of thousands of households. Moreover, it is increasingly applied in various industries and all kinds of industrial production. Antistatic effect of surfactan...Read more -
Application of low-foam surfactants in industrial cleaning
In industrial cleaning, foam not only affects decontamination, but is also difficult to rinse off, prone to residue, and may even overflow from the cleaning equipment, causing waste. Moreover, foam can carry away surfactants from the cleaning liquid phase. Therefore, it is necessary to use low-fo...Read more -
Methods for degreasing and cleaning metal surfaces!
In the production process of metal equipment, lubricants are lubricating media used to reduce the frictional resistance of friction pairs and slow down their wear. Lubricants also play roles such as cooling, cleaning, and preventing pollution for friction pairs. However, the use of lubricants may...Read more -
There are so many pesticide adjuvants, do you know how many types there are?
Pesticide adjuvants are auxiliary substances added during the processing or use of pesticide formulations to improve the physical and chemical properties of the agents, also known as pesticide additives. Adjuvants themselves have basically no biological activity, but they can affect the control e...Read more -
Application of Surfactants in Coatings
Classification of the application of surfactants in coatings: Classified by their functions, surfactants used in the coating industry can be divided into the following categories: emulsifiers, pigment surface treatment agents, pigment wetting and dispersing agents, defoamers, leveling agents, mil...Read more -
Properties and Characteristics of Two Cationic Surfactants
The charge of cationic surfactants is opposite to that of anionic surfactants, so cationic surfactants are often called “inverse soaps”. In terms of their chemical structure, they have at least one long-chain hydrophobic group and one positively charged hydrophilic group. The long-cha...Read more
