Introduction
Existing surfactants directories tend to focus on product identification by tradename, producer or chemical type,
enabling the user only to identify product equivalents and surfactant suppliers. Application information, where
available, is usually scant or given as a footnote. This new directory approaches the identification of surfactants
primarily from the applications standpoint. Hence the formulator or end-user can readily assess the products
available for use in a particular industry sector and select materials giving the required surface active properties. For
example, a formulator of agrochemicals for crop protection can turn to the section which refers to surfactants for use
in the agrochemical industry and then easily identify a wetter/dispersant system for the production of water
dispersible granules.
Information is presented in an alternative format in the second part of the directory, which will help the user
to identify swiftly products for a particular application by surface active properties.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to identify an industry which does not directly or indirectly utilise surfactants.
Therefore it has proved necessary to simplify industry classifications to encompass a variety of uses under broader
sector titles. The industry classifications adopted here have been used in many previous publications and papers, and
define as accurately as possible the major industries and applications serviced by the surfactant industry.
The editors have been particularly pleased with the support and response of the industry in the supply of data.
Most of the major suppliers of surfactants provided extremely detailed submissions for this first edition, and in fact
the information supplied proved to be about three times the quantity of data originally anticipated. This is very
encouraging but has meant that processing of the data for this first edition has taken much longer than originally
anticipated. However, the format is such that future editions can be readily amended and updated, and we plan to
revise the directory every few years.
In cases where producers only supplied trade literature, the editors have attempted to abstract the most important
application information, to the best of their ability. Whilst this directory is thought to contain an accurate record of
products available from the listed suppliers in 1989, it is essential that end-users confirm availability with suppliers
beforehand when contemplating use of a particular product. Whereas many surfactants listed here will be part of
well established product ranges, it is in the nature of this field that companies will continue to develop new or
improved performance products to offer for specific applications. Finally, it is hoped that both contributors and users
of this directory will communicate any corrections, additions or constructive comments on the format and content to
the editors direct or via the publishers. All existing contributors of data will be formally contacted well in advance of
the revision date of future editions, so that their entries can be updated and amended.
