Cetrimide, a quaternary ammonium synthetic disinfectant has properties similar to that of cationic surfactants. The surfactant solution of cetrimide has emulsifying and detergent properties. Cetrimide also has bactericidal activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive organisms. However, higher concentrations are essential to kill the gram-negative organisms. The collective antibacterial and detergent properties of cetrimide make it advantageous in cleansing infected wounds. However, it is comparatively ineffective against acid-fast bacteria, bacterial spores, fungi, and viruses.

Surfactants have been used in the food industry for many centuries. Naturally occurring surfactants such as lecithin from egg yolk and various proteins from milk are used for the preparation of food products such as mayonnaise, salad creams, dressings, deserts, etc. Later, polar lipids such as monoglycerides were introduced as emulsifiers for food products. The growing food and beverage industry is anticipated to boost the demand for cetrimide during the forecast period.
