  • Surface Tension Properties of DeIONIC 100-VLF

The dynamic surface tension of DeIONIC 100-VLF is shown in the graph below as compared to two acetylenic diols. Included is the dynamic surface tension of DeIONIC LF-60MOD, which also exhibits very low, rapid surface tension reduction.

  • Foam Height & Draves Wetting in DW @ 0.1% by wt.:

The foam height of DeIONIC 100-VLF was determined using a modified Ross-Miles graduated cylinder shake test. A cloudy solution forms at each of the temperatures. Draves Wetting is “instantaneous” at 0.1% in deionized water at all temperatures.
