Описание (английский):

After 500 ml of a solution of the substance to be tested have flowed down from a height of 450 mm onto the surface of the same solution, the volume of foam formed is measured, This method is applicable to all surface active agents, but solutions of easy-hydrolizable substances do not give reliable results because the hydrolysis products accumulate in the liquid films and affect the steadiness of the foam.

Overview

SIST ISO 696:1995 specifies an internationally recognized method for measuring the foaming power of surface active agents using the Modified Ross-Miles method. This method is critical for assessing the foaming characteristics of surfactants under controlled laboratory conditions. It involves measuring the volume of foam generated when a solution of a surface active agent falls from a specified height onto the surface of the same solution. The standard provides a detailed procedure and apparatus requirements to ensure consistent and reproducible results.

The method applies to all surface active agents; however, it is not suitable for solutions of easily hydrolyzable substances due to the impact of hydrolysis products on foam stability. This measurement is significant in evaluating surfactants used in detergents, personal care products, and other industrial applications where foam behavior is a quality indicator.

Key Topics

Foaming Power: Defined as the ability of a surface active agent to generate foam, quantified by the volume of foam formed after a fixed efflux under standardized conditions.

Modified Ross-Miles Method: The procedure where 500 ml of a test solution flows down from a height of 450 mm onto a surface of the same solution, with foam volume measured at 30 seconds, 3 minutes, and 5 minutes after flow cessation.

Apparatus Requirements:

Separating funnel (1 L capacity) with metering tube for controlled efflux.
Graduated measuring cylinders (500 ml and 50 ml capacities).
Stainless steel metering tube with precise dimensions.
Water bath maintained at 50 ± 2 °C for temperature control during testing.

Sample Preparation: Solutions are prepared at working strength with water of specified hardness or distilled water saturated with air, avoiding foam formation during mixing.

Test Conditions: Emphasis on cleanliness, temperature control, and avoidance of air bubbles in the apparatus for reliable results.

Limitations: Not applicable for low concentration solutions or products with incomplete solutions and easy hydrolysable agents. Variations in composition can significantly affect foaming performance.

Result Expression: Foam volume is reported in milliliters at designated time intervals post-efflux, with detailed reporting requirements including sample identification, concentration, temperature, water hardness, and any deviations from standard conditions.

Applications

Detergent and Cleaning Product Development: Measuring foaming power helps optimize formulations for desired foam stability and volume.

Quality Control in Surfactant Manufacturing: Ensures consistent product performance batch-to-batch by quantifying foaming characteristics.

Research on Surface Active Agents: Enables comparison of foaming ability among different surfactant types and formulations.

Personal Care and Cosmetics Industries: Assesses foam properties critical to consumer experience, such as in shampoos and facial cleansers.

Industrial Processes: Monitoring surfactant solutions where foam formation impacts operations, such as in flotation or emulsification.
