Surfactant, refers to the substances which could change the interface state of solution system significantly after added very little amount. Having fixed hydrophilic and lipophilic group, it can be aligned at the surface of the solution. The molecular structure of the surfactant is amphiphilic: one end is the hydrophilic group, and the other end is the hydrophobic group; hydrophilic group is usually a polar group, the substances such as carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, sulfate, amino or amine and its salt, hydroxyl group, amide group, ether bond, etc. may also be used as a polar hydrophilic group; and a hydrophobic group is often non-polar hydrocarbon chain, for example 8 or more carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain. Surfactant is divided into ionic type surfactant
(including the cationic surfactant and anionic surfactant), non-ionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, compound surfactant, and other surfactants.
Surfactants become flexible, of extensive use fine chemical products due to its series of physical and chemical effects and the corresponding actual application of wetting or anti-stick, emulsifying or emulsion breaking, foaming or defoaming and solubilization, dispersion, washing, anti-corrosion, anti-static etc. Surfactants cover almost all of the fine chemicals industrial fields except being used as detergents in our daily lives.
We provide equipment and whole plant construction for surfactants production enterprises. We offer the entire plant output, engineering design services, factory renovation, expansion services, project management consulting services, design services to solve the difficulties in surfactants production thoroughly.
Main Equipment and Function Introduction:
High-shear Emulsifier: used for surfactant dispersing, homogenizing, emulsifying and refining, it is divided into two kinds, batch type and inline type; the batch type emulsifier can be customized into kettle mounted type combining with a variety of agitators to achieve one machine with multi-functions; the emulsifier can also be designed vacuum type, available for heating and many other types according to different producing process requirements.
Blender: Widely used for mixing powder and powder, powder mixed with a small amount of liquid. For liquid charging, we have designed independent measurable spraying method to improve mixing efficiency and uniformity; The mixer have complete specifications ranging from laboratory type to production type, vertical type or horizontal type for your options.You can choose the most suitable machine according to production process and material properties (density, mesh, etc.). Horizontal Ribbon Mixer is widely used for producing surfactant.
Reaction Kettle: Normally it is divided into pressure or pressurized vessel. It consists of kettle body, kettle cover, jacket, agitator, driving device, shaft sealing device, bearing (ground support type or platform lug type) and other parts. Different shaft sealing, cooling/heating method and mixing method can be customized.
Storage tank: Used for storing finished products.
