Surface Tension and Surfactants in Industrial Processes

Surfactants are utilized in many industrial processes. The main purpose of the surfactant is to lower the surface tension of a solution and stabilize interfaces.

This webinar gives an overview of how surfactants are used in industrial processes to lower surface tension and stabilize interfaces. It explains the basics of surface and interfacial tension, shows practical examples from industries like detergents and coatings, and discusses how surface tension measurements help optimize products. The session also briefly reviews the main methods and instruments used to measure surface tension, including both traditional and modern techniques
