A surfactant can be defined as a material that can greatly reduce the surface tension of water when used in very low concentrations. Foaming agents, emulsifiers, and dispersants are surfactants which suspend respectively, a gas, an immiscible liquid, or a solid in water or some other liquid. Although there is some similarity in these functions, the surfactants required to perform these functions differ greatly. Additional information available.
