Surfactants Formulation Group

The Surfactants Formulation Group (SFG) organises quarterly one-day seminars on topics of interest to companies operating throughout the surfactants sector.  The themes are varied and are chosen in consultation with members.  At each meeting, several speakers from industry, government or academia give presentations on the selected topic.

Seminars focus on subjects as diverse as sustainability and green chemistry in the cleaning sector, testing facilities offered by external laboratories, the use of biocides in surfactant formulations, both as preservatives and as active ingredients, and the design of surfactant systems intended to promote adhesion to surfaces and substrates.
