Non-ionic surfactants are less sensitive to water hardness than anionic surfactants, and they foam less strongly. The differences between the individual types of non-ionic surfactants are slight, and the choice is primarily governed having regard to the costs of special properties (e.g., effectiveness and efficiency, toxicity, dermatological ...

α-Olefin sulfonates with linear alkenyl radicals from C 12 to C 18 are used as anionic surfactants in various areas of application due to their pronounced foam formation [clarification needed] and foam stability (even with high water hardness), excellent fat-dissolving power and oil dissolving power as well as a favorable ecological profile and low aquatic toxicity and human toxicity.
Surfactants are classified into four main types, each with different properties and applications: anionic, cationic, nonionic and zwitterionic (or amphoteric). Anionic surfactants are compounds that contain an anionic polar group. Examples of anionic surfactants include sodium dodecyl sulfate and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate. [25]

Mixtures of surfactants are often used, including mixtures of anionic with nonionic surfactants. Mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants form insoluble salts and are not useful. Examples of surfactants commonly used in emulsion polymerization include fatty acids, sodium lauryl sulfate, and alpha-olefin sulfonate.
Hydrocarbon-based surfactants are an example group of amphiphilic compounds. Their polar region can be either ionic , or non-ionic. Some typical members of this group are: sodium dodecyl sulfate ( anionic ), benzalkonium chloride ( cationic ), cocamidopropyl betaine ( zwitterionic ), and 1-octanol (long-chain alcohol, non-ionic).
