amphoteric surfactants

Amphoteric surfactants, also known as amphoteric tensides or amphoteric detergents, are a special type of surfactant. Their unique properties are determined by how their molecules behave in water. They have the ability to behave as either acids or bases depending on the pH of the environment. Hence their name "amphoteric", which means "double-sided". This means that they can either accept or give up protons, making them positively or negatively charged, allowing them to interact with different types of molecules and particles.

Amphoteric surfactants find wide application in a variety of products. They are very popular in the cosmetic industry as they are generally less irritating than other types of surfactants and are capable of moisturizing and conditioning. Therefore, they are often found in products such as shampoos, conditioners, body shower gels or skin care products. They are also used in industry as a component of household and industrial cleaning and bleaching products. In medicine, they are used in antibacterial soaps and disinfectants. Due to their unique behaviour, these substances have the potential for further use in various sectors such as agriculture and food processing.
