Ukunciphisa uxinzelelo lomphezulu yeyona nto ibalulekileyo ye-surfacants. Kukho uxinzelelo lwe-macroscopic kumphezulu wolwelo olwenziweyo owenza umhlaba unciphe ukuya kwelona luncinci kangangoko unakho, oko kukuthi, uxinzelelo olungaphezulu.
I-surfaccapes ziinkcitho ezinokunciphisa kakhulu uxinzelelo lomphezulu okanye uxinzelelo phakathi kotywala ezimbini, phakathi kolwelo kunye negesi, kwaye ziphakathi kolwelo kwaye ziqinile.
Ii-biocides zinokususa ngokufanelekileyo iintsholongwane, ukungunda, kunye nokungunda, ziqinisekisa ucoceko lomoya kunye nomgangatho. Oku kunokunciphisa umngcipheko wosulelo lwesifo kunye nosulelo.
Izongezo ezisebenzayo zizinto ezongezwa ekutyeni, kwizinto zokuthambisa, kumayeza, iiplastiki, iipeyinti, kunye nezinye iimveliso ukuguqula umzimba, imichiza, ukumila, incasa, ivumba kunye neempawu zombala.
I-surfactants zizinto zekhemikhali ezinomsebenzi webhayoloji ezinokuthi zisetyenziswe kwiindawo ezininzi, kubandakanya:
