Technical Details & Test Data

Foam Height Data

The foaming properties of DeTERIC CSP - 50 were determined via Modified Ross-Miles Foam Height, graduated cylinder shake test using 3% by weight of surfactant in 50% sodium hydroxide. The test solutions were further diluted 1:1 with deionized water prior to testing.
