4. HLB Drives Application
HLB scale showing classification of surfactant function.
The Hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of a surfactant is a measure of the degree to which it is hydrophilic or lipophilic 20 10 12 12

5. Changes to the Alkyl Group or Hydrophobe
Increasing Carbon Chain Length
increase in detergency
lower critical micelle concentration(CMC)
more efficient surface tension reduction
increase in viscosity
decrease in solubility

6. Alkoxylation Nonionic More EO increases hydrophilic properties
Ethylene Oxide
(EO)
Propylene Oxide
(PO)
Nonionic
More EO increases hydrophilic properties
More PO decreases hydrophilic properties
More EO and/or PO increases mildness and melt point
Not hypochlorite stable
Unaffected by pH or water hardness
More PO gives low cloud points of nonionic surfactants
More EO gives high cloud points
