Difference between Emulsion and Surfactant

Emulsion vs. Surfactant

An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible (unmixable or unblendable). Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension (or interfacial tension) between two liquids, between a gas and a liquid, or between a liquid and a solid.

Similarities between Emulsion and Surfactant

Emulsion and Surfactant have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cosmetics, Detergent, Polyethylene glycol, Polysorbate 20, Soap, Surface tension.

Polysorbate 20

Polysorbate 20 (common commercial brand names include Scattics, Alkest TW 20 and Tween 20) is a polysorbate-type nonionic surfactant formed by the ethoxylation of sorbitan before the addition of lauric acid.
