Detergent Surfactants

Surfactants For Detergent Builder

Surfactants, also called surface active agents, are organic chemicals that change the properties of water (see Chemistry.) By lowering the surface tension of water, surfactants enable the cleaning solution to wet a surface (e.g., clothes, dishes, countertops) more quickly, so soil can be readily loosened and removed (usually with the aid of mechanical action).
