Product Description
Surfactant by Guangzhou Zhifan Chemical Co., Ltd.
Surfactant, also known as an interfacial agent, is a remarkable compound expertly crafted to dramatically lower the surface tension or interfacial tension between two liquids, a liquid and a gas, or a liquid and a solid. This versatile compound is a testament to Guangzhou Zhifan Chemical Co., Ltd.'s commitment to excellence and innovation in the field of chemical solutions. Discover the extraordinary capabilities of our surfactant and redefine your expectations of performance and reliability.
Reducing Surface Tension
Reducing surface tension is the fundamental role of surfactants. At the macroscopic level, surface tension refers to the cohesive force in the surface layer of a liquid that tends to minimize the surface area. The introduction of surfactants transforms this dynamic: they form a delicate film over the liquid's surface, altering the molecular arrangement, thereby significantly lowering the surface tension.
Forming Micelles
Micelles are structured clusters of molecules that form en masse when surfactant concentration in aqueous solutions surpasses a specific threshold.
In aqueous solutions, surfactants initially disperse as single molecules or adhere to the solution's surface, reducing surface tension. As surfactant levels rise, saturating the solution's surface, these molecules move inward. The hydrophobic tails, less compatible with water, are driven together by mutual attraction, forming micelles at a critical concentration. These micelles, comprising 50 to 150 molecules, may adopt spherical, lamellar, or rod-like forms.
Product Description
(1) Emulsification: Owing to the inherent high surface tension between oil and water, vigorous stirring initially disperses oil into fine droplets within an emulsion. However, these layers will typically separate once agitation ceases. By introducing a surfactant and agitating, the oil remains emulsified long-term. This enduring effect results from the surfactant's hydrophilic groups encircling the oil's hydrophobicity, minimizing the energy required for dispersal in water and ensuring a stable emulsion.
(2) Wetting: Surfaces often accumulate hydrophobic barriers like wax or grease, resisting water. These barriers hinder wetting. When surfactants are added to a solution, they facilitate water dispersal over such surfaces by drastically reducing surface tension, achieving effective wetting.
(3) Solubilization: Oily substances require surfactants to solubilize, though this process demands reaching the surfactant's critical colloidal concentration. Solubility varies with the solubilization target and its characteristics. Notably, solubilization is more potent with longer, saturated hydrocarbon chains, and nonionic surfactants often excel in this role.
(4) Dispersion Effect: Particles such as dust naturally cluster and settle in water. Surfactant molecules intervene by breaking these aggregates into minute particles, ensuring an even dispersion throughout the solution and enhancing the distribution of solids.
