The production and use of surface active agents have seen various evolutions over time, yet rarely, if ever, has this information been collated in one place.

Covering all surfactant classes in a clear and concise style, from their properties and applications to an overview of the evolution of their production processes, this book is a comprehensive overview of the field. It is both a record of important documents and intellectual property as well as a springboard for possible future developments.

Key features:

• Covers both man-made and natural surfactants
• Includes abundant references to production processes and developments of intellectual property
• Provides a complete background to the field of surface active agents today

From producers and formulators of surface active agents to professors and students of raw materials, this book is appropriate for both academic courses and industry professionals.
