Cationic Surfactants

Cationic surfactants are referred to as chemicals in which the hydrophilic end comprises up of a positively charged particle or cation. The standard capacity of these surfactants is to make lipophilic substances like oils, fats, and greases soluble in water, with an aim that they can be washed away. Since water can dissolve ionic substances or materials that are made up of one or more charged atoms and hydrocarbons dissolve oils,fats and greases, a surfactants particle has a hydrocarbon end and an ionic end. Cationic Surfactants can be even used as fabric softeners in Textile Industry. They also find uses in topical antiseptics and hand sanitizers.
