Surfactants are vital ingredients in detergents, dispersants, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and wetting agents that help reduce surface tension. These are broadly used in various industries including oil and gas, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals and agriculture, although they are mainly used as foaming agents in the detergent manufacturing units. Many different solvents are applied in a wide variety of product applications in personal care products, paints, pharmaceuticals, cleaners, pesticides, and inks.
