Q: How can I request a quotation for surfactants from Mars Oleochemicals?

International buyers can send their required surfactant name or grade, specification, quantity, packing, destination port and trade term to info@marsoleo.com for product availability and commercial quotation.

Surfactants, or surface-active agents, are functional ingredients used in many consumer and industrial formulations. They can help provide properties such as cleansing, wetting, emulsification, dispersion and foaming depending on the surfactant type and formulation. Their versatility makes surfactants important raw materials for detergents, household cleaning products, personal care, cosmetics and specialty industrial applications.

surfactants is in detergent and cleaning formulations, where they support cleaning, wetting and soil-removal performance. Surfactants are also widely incorporated into personal care and cosmetic formulations, including shampoos, body cleansers, hand washes and other formulated products. The correct surfactant grade is selected according to the required formulation characteristics, compatibility and end-use performance.
