Dishwashing Liquid Surfactant Testing
Dishwashing liquid surfactants play a critical role in the cleaning process by providing emulsification and solubilization properties. The quality of these surfactants directly impacts the performance, efficiency, and effectiveness of dishwashing liquids. Eurolab offers comprehensive testing services to ensure that all surfactant components meet the highest standards for safety and efficacy.
Our testing protocols are based on industry-leading international standards such as ASTM D7062-18, ISO 4636:1988, EN 15610, and IEC 61967. These standards provide a robust framework for evaluating surfactants used in dishwashing liquids. Our team of experts ensures that every test is conducted according to these specifications.
We conduct rigorous testing on various parameters including but not limited to:
- Surfactant type and concentration
- pH levels
- Detergent content
- Biofilm formation
- Saponification value
- Emulsifying efficiency
- Foam stability
- Rinse aid effectiveness
Our testing process begins with the careful preparation of samples. This involves ensuring that the dishwashing liquid is representative of the product batch being tested. The sample must be free from contamination and prepared in accordance with our standard operating procedures.
The testing itself involves a series of steps designed to simulate real-world conditions as closely as possible. For instance, we perform emulsification tests using oil-in-water systems which mimic the dirt removal process during dishwashing. We also conduct foam stability tests under controlled temperature and humidity conditions to ensure that the surfactant maintains its ability to form stable foams.
Our laboratory utilizes state-of-the-art instrumentation including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and Titration equipment. These tools allow us to measure key characteristics accurately and repeatably.
The results of our testing are reported in detailed reports that provide actionable insights for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams alike. The report includes all relevant test data along with interpretations and recommendations based on the findings.
By partnering with Eurolab for your dishwashing liquid surfactant testing needs, you can be confident in the quality of your products. Our commitment to excellence ensures that every test is conducted rigorously and reported accurately. This not only helps maintain compliance but also enhances product performance and customer satisfaction.
Industry Applications
Dishwashing liquid surfactant testing is crucial for manufacturers who wish to ensure their products meet stringent quality standards. Here are some of the key applications:
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Quality Assurance | Regular testing helps maintain consistent product quality. |
| New Product Development | Data from tests informs R&D on formulation adjustments and improvements. |
| Compliance | Testing ensures adherence to regulatory requirements. |
| Supply Chain Management | Surfactant quality is a key factor in supply chain decision-making. |
