Lutensol XP types are nonionic surfactants based on C10-Guerbet alcohol and ethylene oxide. XP 30-90 are cloudy liquids, XP 100-140 are soft pastes at 23°C. XP 69-99 are clear liquids at room temperature. All types have pH of 7 and density of 0.95-1.01 g/cm³
Anionic surfactant derived from sarcosine used in various cleaning products. Amphiphilic due to hydrophobic lauroyl chain and hydrophilic carboxylate. Nitrogen atom in amide linkage is neutral in all pH solutions. Carboxylate has pKa of about 3.6, becoming negatively charged above pH 5.5
CAPB is a mixture of coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine derivatives. Produced through two-step reaction: DMAPA with coconut/palm kernel oil fatty acids. Contains long hydrocarbon chain and polar group, acting as surfactant
Detergent is a surfactant with cleansing properties in dilute solutions. Molecules have hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. Forms micelles to remove grease and soiling particles. Works better in alkaline pH
