Surfactants

Specializing in Surfactant Chemistry

Surfactants are the key ingredients used to modify the surface properties of molecules and compounds for countless consumer and industrial applications.

Our customers use surfactants to enhance and modify characteristics such as detergency and cleaning performance, wetting properties, emulsification, foaming levels, dispersion properties and much more.

J R Hess Co. offers a full range of anionic, cationic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants to boost performance and add functionality in several application areas.
