Laundry Detergent Surfactant Testing
The laundry detergent surfactant testing service is crucial in ensuring that detergents are effective, safe, and meet regulatory requirements. Surfactants play a vital role in the cleaning process by reducing surface tension, dispersing dirt, and emulsifying oil-based stains. This comprehensive testing service covers a range of parameters including foaming ability, wetting properties, emulsification efficiency, solubility, and biodegradability.
For quality managers and compliance officers, understanding the surfactant content in laundry detergents is essential for maintaining product consistency and ensuring safety. Our laboratory offers advanced testing methods that comply with international standards such as ISO 13468:2017 and ASTM D975-19. These tests help in identifying any potential issues related to biodegradability, which is a key factor in environmental sustainability.
R&D engineers benefit greatly from our testing service by gaining insights into the performance of different surfactants under various conditions. This information can be used to optimize detergent formulations for better cleaning efficacy and reduced environmental impact. Procurement teams also find this service invaluable as it allows them to select suppliers who meet stringent quality criteria.
The process begins with sample collection from the laundry detergent batch. Specimen preparation involves dilution or extraction based on the type of surfactant being tested. Our team uses sophisticated instrumentation such as rheometers and viscometers to measure key physical properties like viscosity and surface tension. Additionally, chromatography techniques are employed for quantitative analysis of individual surfactants.
One important aspect of our testing is the evaluation of foaming behavior which can significantly affect user satisfaction and product performance. We use specially designed foam stability testers that simulate real-world washing conditions to provide accurate measurements of foam height, duration, and collapse rate.
