Biosurfactants, produced by bacteria, are safer and can replace synthetic surfactants.\nRhamnolipid molecules are some of the safest surfactants known and are particularly attractive, thanks to their biodegradability, minimal toxicity, and amenability to be produced from industrial waste.

Key Points: 
  • Biosurfactants, produced by bacteria, are safer and can replace synthetic surfactants.\nRhamnolipid molecules are some of the safest surfactants known and are particularly attractive, thanks to their biodegradability, minimal toxicity, and amenability to be produced from industrial waste.
  • They are made using Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pathogenic bacterium harmful to humans.\n"If we want to fully gain the benefits of rhamnolipids, we need to grow these pathogenic bacteria on a huge scale.
  • And because that\'s a health risk, the industry is looking for alternatives," explained Professor Gauthier.
  • The INRS community includes more than 1,500 students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty members, and staff.\n'

Friday, May 14, 2021

b'Fluorosurfactants are widely used in paint & coatings and is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period.\nFluorosurfactants are amphiphilic molecules that have hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts.

Key Points: 
  • b'Fluorosurfactants are widely used in paint & coatings and is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period.\nFluorosurfactants are amphiphilic molecules that have hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts.
  • The hydrophobic tail is a fluorocarbon and the hydrophilic part is characterized based on charge.\nSurfactants often called as surface-active agents lower the surface tension between a liquid and a gas, or between a liquid and a solid or between two immiscible phases.
  • The lower the surface tension of a coating, the smoother and excellent the finish.\nFluorosurfactant improves pigment and substrate wetting and leveling characteristics and provide high open time.
  • The growing commercial and residential complexes along with growing health consciousness is expected to drive the demand for detergents and cleaning agents.\nThe aforementioned factors, coupled with government support, are contributing to the increasing demand for fluorosurfactant market in the Asia-Pacific during the forecast period.\n'
