Course description

View Course Outline

Surfactants play a vital role in many aspects of modern life and are widely used.

This accredited training will describe the types of surfactants we use, how they are made and the environmental concerns over their use. It will discuss methods of making surfactants from natural products with a lower environmental impact. Unfortunately, a number of these more environmentally acceptable surfactants themselves have sustainability issues.

The course will discuss the development of greener surfactants and what the future might hold.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Describe the importance of surfactants in our lives
  • Explain how surfactants are made and from what raw materials
  • List some problems that are caused using surfactants
  • Explain how surfactants can affect our health
  • Describe their biodegradability and environmental impact
  • Review options for making surfactants from natural ingredients. What are the problems using palm oil and how to overcome them? What other natural ingredients can we use? Will fermentation help?
  • Discuss sulfate-free alternatives and typical formulations in which they are used
