What Are Phosphate Surfactants?

Anionic and amphoteric agents with exceptional resistance to acid, alkali, and high temperatures, offering superior performance in demanding industrial and household applications.

Definition & Properties

Phosphate surfactants are specialized surface-active agents characterized by their phosphate ester groups. They function as both anionic and amphoteric agents, making them versatile across various pH levels and environmental conditions.

  • Excellent acid and alkali resistance
  • High temperature stability
  • Superior hard-water tolerance
