Coco-Based Surfactants. The most important coconut oil-based surfactants are fatty alcohol sulfate, fatty alcohol ether sulfate, and fatty alcohol polyglycol ether. Two relatively new coco-based surfactants are fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate and alkyl polyglycoside, which is produced from fatty alcohol and starch or sugar, both renewable materials.

Polyglycol Ethers. Polyglycol ethers, produced by the reaction of fatty alcohol with ethylene oxide, constitute the most important class of nonionic surfactants. They possess good wetting properties, produce relatively low foam, and are highly effective at low temperature and low concentration. They are used as textile auxiliaries, in dishwashing liquids, degreasing products, and hquid cleaner formulations. 

Nonionic Surfactants. The nonionic surfactants do not dissociate in an aqueous medium. Their solubility is provided by the polar group, such as a polyglycol ether or a polyol. The most important types of fatty nonionic surfactants are the polyglycol ethers of fatty alcohols, fatty acids, amines, and amides. 

In monoesters of sulfuric acid, the sulfate ion is the hydrophilic part of the molecule which results in its solubility in water. Sodium salts of fatty alcohol monoesters of sulfuric acid are the best known examples of this kind of surfactant. The sulfate group is also present in alkyl polyglycol ether sulfates and in some reaction products of starting materials containing a double bond or an OH-group in the molecule, e.g. sulfated castor oil.

In the case of alkylphenol polyglycol ether, quantitatively the next most important nonionic surfactant, the alkyl chain used is mostly a tripropylene (nonyl) or dibutene (octyl) chain. The technological properties of these alkylphenol polyglycol ethers are very similar to those having corresponding fatty alcohol derivatives.
