Composition |
: |
Foamax
is a mixture of 22% non-ionic and 18% 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 neutralise 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.. |
