Foaming properties of surfactants’ water solutions of Zetesol group

Abstract

Foaming process in surfactants’ water solutions of ZETESOL ZN and ZETESOL MG in concentration 0.01–5.00 g/l has been investigated. The Ross-Miles device has been used to obtain foams. The foam ability was characterized by the initial foam volume and foam stability. It was proved that optimal foaming ability has been observed with concentr ation of above-mentioned surfactants above 0.2 g/l. All received foams have been highly resistant. Besides, it was established that foam stability of preparations depends on surface-active and colloidal-chemical properties. Studying the kinetics of foam stability showed that foam destructions happen ed at first 3.5 minutes of existence. The composition of hygienic detergent was developed based on experimental data. The detergent prototype was analyzed on the main organoleptic a nd physicochemical characteristics. The carried out analysis of prototype proved its compliance to requirements of STB 1675-2006 “The cosmetic hygienic washing products. General characteristics”.
