Product type
Non-ionic surfactants are a class of surface-active agents that do not carry any electrical charge. They are typically made from fatty alcohols, ethylene oxide, and other hydrophilic compounds. These surfactants work by reducing the surface tension of liquids, allowing for better wetting, spreading, and emulsifying properties. They are widely used in personal care and cosmetic formulations due to their mildness and compatibility with various ingredients.
| Chemical structure | Fatty alcohol ethoxylates or similar |
| HLB range | Non-ionic surfactants typically have HLB values from 8 to 18 |
| Solubility | Water-soluble or oil-soluble depending on formulation |
| pH range | Typically stable in a pH range of 4 to 10 |
| Viscosity | Varies widely based on concentration and formulation |
When selecting non-ionic surfactants, consider the specific application and desired properties such as emulsification, wetting, and foaming. Specify the chemical structure, HLB value, and any necessary certifications for safety and quality. It's also important to indicate the required quantities for your production needs, as bulk purchasing may offer cost advantages.

They are used in personal care products, cleaning agents, and industrial applications.
Non-ionic surfactants are generally milder and less sensitive to water hardness.
HLB value determines the surfactant's ability to stabilize emulsions and foams.
Many non-ionic surfactants are biodegradable, but it's important to check specific formulations.
Some non-ionic surfactants are approved for food contact, but verify regulatory compliance.
Factors include concentration, temperature, and the presence of other ingredients.
