Un par de contextos:

Para \"surfactive\", el texto corresponde a un laboratorio de química de una universidad. Te vienen varios ejemplos de agentes surfoactivos.

\"A strategy was used to optimize the biocompatibility of the oxygen-sensitive materials by decreasing the size of the particles and coating them with suspending or surfactive agents such as arabic gum, poloxamer (Pluriol 6800), and polyvinylpyrrolidone\"

Para \"tensoactive\", los ingredientes de un detergetne:

EverFlor Clavel contains a complex organic compound made of the ultraviolet extract of Citrus Grandis.
That is why it is natural, it does not contaminate and it is not toxic.

Active ingredients: 30% citrus extract
20% tensoactive agents
20% acidifying agent
Inert ingredients: 50% Organic Solvents

Surfactant y surface active lo he visto en páginas bilingües como traducción del español surfactante. Sin más contexto no me atrevo a decir que surfactivo y surfactante sea lo mismo.

Many of the Google hits for \"tensioactive\" are from French or other foreign sites. This is the danger of just finding hits on Google for a term. It is important to look carefully at the site before deciding that the term is correct.
