English - English
A lipoprotein in the tissues of the lung that reduces surface tension and permits more efficient gas transport
A surface active agent, or wetting agent, capable of reducing the surface tension of a liquid; typically organic compounds having a hydrophilic "head" and a hydrophobic "tail"
The descriptor for any substance that lowers surface tension
Short for "surface active agent " A soluble compound that reduces the surface tension of liquids, or reduces interfacial tension between two liquids or a liquid and a solid having cationic (positive charge), anionic (negative charge), or non-ionic (no charge) nature The ingredient in SPF that controls the cell size
A substance that lowers surface tension Surfactant produced by lung tissue is termed "pulmonary surfactant"
a substance capable of reducing the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved
a surface-active substance, such as a detergent or soap, that lowers the surface tension of a solvent (usually water)
A substance produced in the lungs to reduce surface tension in alveoli and small airways
A soluble chemical compound that reduces the surface tension between two liquids It is used in many detergents and soapy cleaning compounds
Surface active agent; a substance which alters interfacial tension, e g , wetting agent, dispersing agent, used in magnetic stripe slurries
{i} soap like substance that decreases the surface tension of liquids in order for the liquid to spread out and improve wetting; (Medicine) mixture of phospholipids secreted by the the cells of the alveoli in the lungs which reduces the surface tension of pulmonary fluids and helps to the elastic characteristics of pulmonary tissue
surface-active agent that reduces interfacial tension of a liquid A surfactant used in a petroleum oil may increase the oil’s affinity for metals and other materials
surface-active agent that reduces interfacial tension of a liquid
surface active agent such as an emulsifier or detergent that lowers the surface tension of water
A product designed to reduce the surface tension of water Also referred to as tensio-active agents/tensides Detergents are made up principally from surfactants
a wetting agent, such as soap, that assists water in wetting and suspending nonpolar materials
a material which when used in small amounts modifies the surface properties of liquids or solids Detergents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, dispersion agents, and foam inhibitors are all surfactants
Any chemical substance such as a soap which reduces the surface tension of water, permitting it to cling more closely to surfaces
A surface active substance; an additive which reduces surface tension and may form micelles, thereby improving wetting (agents); helps disperse pigments; inhibits foam or emulsifies
A word coined from surface-active agent A compound that reduces the surface tension of water permitting it to penetrate more easily into or to spread over the surface of another material Also called wetting agent
Fluid secreted by the cells of the alveoli that reduces the surface tension of pulmonary fluids; it contributes to the elastic properties of pulmonary tissue
A chemical added to media components to enhance their wettability, or ability to retain water
These wetting agents help lower water's surface tension which allows it to penetrate and spread out more easily There are four major categories, depending upon the electrical charge, or lack of electrical charge, carried Surfacants properties range from cleaning, stain removal, antistatic and sanitizing, to adding mildness to shampoos and lotions
A material which improves the emulsifying, dispersing, spreading, wetting, or other surface modifying properties of liquids
A material added to an ink to adjust the surface tension to the point needed Usually, it lowers the surface tension Surfynol 465 may be used
The term surfactant comes from shortening the phrase `surface active agent' Amphiphilic molecules that have the unique property of getting absorbed at various interfaces and changing the properties of the interface are called surfactants Surfactants are crucial for the properties of soaps and other detergents and have wide ranging applications from oil recovery to efficient delivery of drugs at a desired site in the body
Wetting agent that enhances the penetration of water
A surface-active agent
A substance that lowers the surface or interfacial tension of the medium in which it is dissolved

surfactants
plural of surfactant
surfactants
Contracted from surface-active agents, these are additives which reduce surface tension and thereby improve wetting (wetting agents), help disperse pigments, inhibit foam, or emulsify Conventionally, they are classified as to their charge: anionic (negative); cationic (positive); nonionic (no charge); or amphoteric (both positive and negative)
surfactants
This means surface active agents They are adjuvants that are usually spreaders or spreader stickers that spread the water droplet over the surface of the plant for better coverage and penetration
surfactants
A term to describe substances that provide resiliency and stability to thin films and that markedly lower the surface tension of liquids, thus permitting easier bubble formation An integral part of the foam manufacturing chemistry
