I-surfactants yinkqubo entsonkothileyo, nangona zonke zinokubizwa ngokuba zii-surfactants, ukusetyenziswa kwazo kunye nokusetyenziswa kwazo kunokwahluka ngokupheleleyo. Umzekelo, ngexesha lenkqubo yokusukwa, ii-surfactants zinokusetyenziswa njenge-ejenti yokugqobhoza, i-ejenti yokulinganisa, ukumanzisa umva, ukuthambisa, ukuthambisa, ukuthambisa, ukuthambisa, ukwenza imifuziselo okanye iimveliso zokuthambisa.
Nangona kunjalo, xa ii-surfactants ezimbini zineempembelelo ezifanayo okanye ezifanayo, kunokubakho ukubhideka.
I-ejenti yokumanzisa kunye ne-ejenti yokwehlisa amafutha ziintlobo ezimbini zeemveliso ze-surfactant ezihlala zisetyenziswa ngexesha lenkqubo yokufunxa. Ngenxa yomgangatho othile wokuvasa kunye nokukwazi ukumanzisa i-surfactants, ezinye iifektri zinokuyisebenzisa njengeemveliso zokuhlambela nokumanzisa. Nangona kunjalo, ukusetyenziswa kwe-agent ekhethekileyo ye-ionic yokufunxwa enyanisweni kubalulekile kwaye akunakubuyiselwa.
