Surfaetant chemistry is now in a market-development phase. New uses are being found and exploited for most of the numerous and diverse products that are being offered for sale. At the same time the total volume of products going into established uses is increasing. In this marketing period the volume attained by each competitive type depends on its composite of functional and nonfunctional properties as well as on its cost. In many cases nonfunctional ra ther than functional properties determine which process of manufacture or which surfactant type will at tain the predominant position in a given market.
