  2. Hydrophilic-lipophilic balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophilic-lipophilic_balance

    Griffin's method for non-ionic surfactants as described in 1954 works as follows: = / where is the molecular mass of the hydrophilic portion of the molecule, and M is the molecular mass of the whole molecule, giving a result on a scale of 0 to 20. An HLB value of 0 corresponds to a completely lipophilic/hydrophobic molecule, and a value of 20 ...

  3. Surfactant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactant

    Surfactant molecules have either one tail or two; those with two tails are said to be double-chained. [4] Surfactant classification according to the composition of their head: non-ionic, anionic, cationic, amphoteric. Most commonly, surfactants are classified according to polar head group. A non-ionic surfactant has no charged groups in its ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_polyglycoside

    General chemical structure of an alkyl polyglucoside, a common form of alkyl polyglycoside. Alkyl polyglycosides (APGs) are a class of non-ionic surfactants widely used in a variety of cosmetic, household, and industrial applications. Biodegradable and plant-derived from sugars, these surfactants are usually derivatives of glucose and fatty ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethoxylated_tallow_amine

    The chemical complexity of POEA makes it difficult to study in the environment. [3]: 96 POEA is toxic to aquatic species like fish and amphibians. Like other surfactants, it can affect membrane transport and can often act as a general narcotic. [3] In laboratory experiments POEA has a half-life in soils of less than 7 days.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triton_X-100

    Triton X-100 (C 14 H 22 O(C 2 H 4 O) n) is a nonionic surfactant that has a hydrophilic polyethylene oxide chain (on average it has 9.5 ethylene oxide units) and an aromatic hydrocarbon lipophilic or hydrophobic group.

  8. Amphiphile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphiphile

    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 , benzalkonium chloride , cocamidopropyl betaine (zwitterionic), and 1-octanol (long-chain alcohol, non-ionic). [citation needed]

  9. Polysorbate 20 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysorbate_20

    Polysorbate 20 (common commercial brand names include Kolliphor PS 20, [2] Scattics, Alkest TW 20, Tween 20, and Kotilen-20) is a polysorbate-type nonionic surfactant formed by the ethoxylation of sorbitan monolaurate.
