Surfactant formulation chemistry: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

The chemical composition and concentration of surfactants are being engineered. This controls surface tension and soil emulsification to achieve cleaning efficacy.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Surfactant formulation chemistry?

Dermal irritation and dryness

(31)evidences

Standard detergents often fail to maintain cleaning efficacy and suds stability during the manual agitation process of hand dishwashing. Improving grease emulsification under low-shear conditions ensures consistent performance and user satisfaction.

Surface soil persistence

(9)evidences

The cluster addresses the inability of standard formulations to effectively detach and suspend contaminants from substrates. Overcoming this limitation ensures hygienic restoration and prevents soil redeposition during the wash cycle.
