Surfactants are derived from natural fatty alcohols and oils sourced from palm oil, palm kernel oil, and coconut oil. They are produced in a state-of-the-art oleochemicals plant in Malaysia, adhering to the highest quality standards.
These surfactants are widely used in personal care and home care products, including shampoos, laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and household cleaning products.
Surfactant is from 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Kernel Oil and Coconut Oil origin and Kosher certified.
A surfactant, or surface-active agent, is a substance that reduces the surface tension between two substances. It is a molecule composed of both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts, enabling it to interact with both water and oil.
Surfactants are classified based on the electrical charge of their hydrophilic head as anionic (negative charge), cationic (positive charge), non-ionic (neutral), or amphoteric (both positive and negative charges). They are commonly used in cleaning products such as detergents, soaps, and shampoos.
Surfactants work by breaking down oils and dirt, allowing them to mix with water for easier removal. Beyond cleaning, they are also used in industrial applications like oil recovery. Their unique properties make surfactants valuable in a wide range of uses. Examples include sodium lauryl sulfate, widely found in household cleaning and personal care products, and polysorbate 80, which is used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
Surfactants in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and bathroom cleaners help remove dirt, oil, and grease from various surfaces.
Shampoos, body washes, hand soaps, and toothpaste contain surfactants that effectively clean and remove oils from the skin and hair
Makeup removers, facial cleansers, and body washes utilize surfactants to break down and remove makeup and other impurities.
Surfactants act as emulsifiers and stabilizers, helping to mix ingredients like oil and water that normally do not combine well.
Surfactants enhance the effectiveness of agricultural products such as herbicides and pesticides by improving their adhesion to plants.
In petroleum, surfactants improve oil and gas flow through pipelines and aid in recovering oil from underground reservoirs.
Adding surfactants to engine lubricants prevents particles from sticking to engine parts, ensuring smooth movement and proper functioning of the vehicle.
