Anionic surfactants, which contain a head with a negative charge, are frequently used in laundry detergents and shampoos. They work to remove dirt and stains by reducing water surface tension.
Anionic surfactants have good decontamination, dispersion, foaming, emulsification and wetting properties. The negative head lifts and suspends soils.
They are the most widely used in industry along with nonionic surfactants; these two types are used together in cleaning formulations, detergents, personal care products and soaps.
