Composition |
: |
Foamax
is a mixture of non-ionic and cationic surfactants in an aqueous medium. It contains no
solvents
and is safe to store and transport. |
Physical Form |
: |
Yellowish liquid miscible with water in all proportions. It is
mildly alkaline in nature but is non-toxic. |
Mechanism of Action |
: |
Foamax
is a unique sensitising agent which destabilises
the rubber colloids so that
gellation can occur before the
air water system collapses.
The non-ionics stabilise the foam
bubbles while the cationics
neutralize the protective charge
on the rubber particles thus
resulting in good foam structure. |
Advantages of Foamax |
: |
Foamax
is a gel sensitiser which is used in combination
with the secondary gelling
agent like EFA or DPG. Foamax
reduces the consumption of the
secondary gelling agents,
resulting in improved economy. |
|
How
to use Foamax |
: |
A solution of Foamax is made
generally with Castor Oil soap
and then added to the bowl.
Depending upon the ambient
conditions, upto 0.8%
Foamax is required on DRC basis when
used alongwith DPG or EFA and
upto 2.0 % when used alone. |
