Anionic surfactants' poor stability and breakdown in strong acid and alkaline solution Insufficient penetration and low wetting performance of typical anionic surfactants CleanGredients or design for the environment (DFE) clearances are required for surfactants in particular formulations Limited or no stability of surfactants in concentrated bleach solutions EPA clearance required for use in adjuvants and crop protection formulations Insufficient HLB value of solubility of wetting surfactants VOC and emissions from solvents used in the manufacturing of wood products
