- Cationic Surfactants have preservative and disinfectant properties. Their applications include skin cleaning for the case of burns and wounds
- Non-Ionic Surfactants are common like for the case of the ethers of fatty Alcohols
- Zwitterionic Surfactants are preferred for personal care considering that they are very sensitive to the skin and they have mild properties. They are used in cosmetic items as well as in shampoos since they have high properties of foaming.
- Amphoteric Surfactants are preferred for cleaning materials made from substances like aluminum.
The higher dosage of the surfactants should be 200mg/kg while the lower dosage should be 100mg/Kg
