Original solutions to surfactant' problems.
Example: Common anionic surfactants were incompatible in solutions of electrolytes.GAF created some uncommon ones: GAFAC Anionic Surfactants. facturing and textile wetprocessing applications. We make over 20 types of acid ester GAFAC surfactants and 2 partial sodium salt types. But these represent only one family in a wide range of surfactants available from GAF. The fact is, we make more of them than anyone else.

As detergents, their excellent compatibility with alkalies gives them a big advantage in high temperature applications, while their antistatic, lubricant and antiredeposition properties make GAFAC surfactants the choice for many synthetic fiber manu-

They are readily soluble in a wide variety of concentrated electrolyte solutions. They can be used in the free acid form and over a broad pH range. But that's only part of the story. Versatile GAFAC surfactants have many other desirable properties. Asemulsifiers in cosmetics, they are more efficient than nonionic types, yet less
