Surfactants

Surfactants, short for surface-active agents, are chemical compounds that lower the surface tension between two substances, such as a liquid and a solid or a liquid and a gas. 


Surface-active agents, or surfactants, are essential to formulating cosmetics, detergents, and soaps. Surfactants have hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties, enabling them to disperse, emulsify, and stabilize mixtures of immiscible substances like oil and water.
 
Univar Solutions offers a broad range of anionic surface-active agents and amphoteric, cationic, and nonionic surfactants from industry-leading surfactant manufacturers. We are your one-stop shop for quality surfactants to meet your formulation needs. With purity, safety, and efficiency to consider, you can trust the quality of our surfactants and rely on us as your partner for accurate, on-time service and supply chain expertise.

We are here to serve as your partner delivering what you need, when you need it, and at the best economics. Find your surfactant manufacturing products here.
