Galaxy 689 is an anionic surfactant. It has excellent foaming power and detergency property. It is also a good emulsifier. It is most effective under alkaline conditions (pH >7.5).It can be used with other anionic, non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants. However, due to its anionic character, it should not be used with cationic components like cationic surfactants, cationic dyes, etc.
