A novel series of water‐soluble polyurethane surfactants has been prepared by the addition polymerization of 2,4 and 2,6‐toluene diisocyanate 80 : 20%, respectively (TDI) to polyethylene glycol (PEG) and/or castor oil and ethylene glycol (EG). These water‐soluble polyurethane surfactants have been found to exhibit excellent surface active properties including surface tension, foaming and wetting tendency, and formation of stable emulsions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
