Surfactants Flashcards
alkali metal and ammonium soaps - emulsion type
O/W
Alkali metal and ammonium soaps - surfactant type
anionic
alkali metal and ammonium soaps - pH stability
sensitive to acids
stable > pH 10
alkali metal and ammonium soaps - cations/anions/electrolytes stability
Al3+, Ca2+, Mg2+ or Zn 2+ cause phase reversal
electrolytes salt out the soap
alkali metal and ammonium soaps - Route of administration
not for oral (unpleasant taste) and not on broken skin (alkaline pH)
alkali metal and ammonium soaps - miscellaneous
resistant to attack by microorganisms
alkali metal and ammonium soaps - In situ?
Yes
