The foaming feature can record by using foamy column tester (SCT) and using data to draw the foam formation curve.This SCT has 4 posts of a cover.The long 30cm of each post typical case, diameter is 10cm.The thick 0.5cm of post jamb, and the thick 1cm in column bottom.SCT measures the foamy height then with the test soln in the post (typically a plurality of clear plastic post) of the speed rotation sealing of about 2.2rad/s (per minute 21 change) 2 minutes.Dirt can be added in the test soln then, stir once more, and then measure the foam height of gained.Because more dirt is introduced from the surface of washing, this test can be used to the initial foaming feature of imitation composition, and its foaming feature when using.

The foaming characteristic test is as follows:

1. prepare the cylinder of a cover cleaning, drying, calibration, and the water hardness is that 136.8ppm (every liter 2.1 grain) and temperature are 25 ℃ water.

2. add an amount of test composition in each cylinder, adding the total amount that entry makes composition+water in each cylinder then is 500mL.

3. seal above-mentioned cylinder, be placed in the SCT then.

4. connect SCT, and rotated this cylinder 2 minutes.

5. in 1 minute, measure the foamy height, unit is centimetre.

6. bubbling is characterized as the foamy center line average that is generated by composition, and unit is cm.

Composition preferably has the foaming profile maxima and is at least about 2cm as described in the present invention, more preferably at least about 3cm, even 4cm more preferably from about.

Foam wt is than being that every gram product generates measuring of foamy mL number.Foam wt is as follows than measuring: volumetric measuring device of weighing such as graduated cylinder obtain tare weight.Then, use foam-generating dispenser (if applicable) in graduated cylinder, is pushed product dispensing several times for discontinuous distribution device, then distributes for some time for the continuous dispensing device.To discontinuous device (pump, atomizer) by 10 times or continuous apparatus is distributed 10 seconds is the time length of recommending.Dispensing rate during test should be consistent with the dispensing rate under the normal service condition.For example, the trigger-type sprayer per minute is by 120 times, or palm pump per minute is by 45 times.

Use volumetric measuring device to measure the volume of foam that generates, unit is mL.

Weighing comprises the volumetric measuring device of institute's dispensing product, and unit is gram.From then on deduct the tare weight of this volumetric measuring device in the weight.The result is the gram number of institute's dispensing product.At last, foam wt is than (Unit/g) is by calculating divided by the weight (g of unit) of institute's dispensing product with generating volume of foam (Unit).

The foam wt of mL/g is than the foam mL number that is easy to be converted to every mL product by the density that multiply by high viscosity composition.
