Global Amphoteric Surfactant Market: Overview
Surfactants are chemical compounds that reduce surface tension and increase cleaning efficiency. They may act as emulsifiers, dispersants, detergents, foaming agents, and wetting agents. Surfactants are manufactured with the help of two distinct feedstocks, namely, petrochemicals and natural vegetable oils. Amphoteric surfactants better perform in the hot and hard water. These surfactants possess some properties such as foaming properties, biodegradability, good detergency, conditioning properties, hard water compatibility, and mild behavior. Due to these properties, mild amphoteric surfactants are majorly used in secondary surfactants such as foam baths, shower gels, liquid soaps, and shampoos. They are used in personal care and household activities such as foaming, detergency, and emulsification. They cause less irritation to eyes and skin.
Global Amphoteric Surfactant Market: Growth Factors
Increasing demand for harmless and skin-friendly surfactants in home care and personal care industries may drive the global amphoteric surfactant market.
