Surface active agents - Foaming power and antifoaming power - Turbine stirring method

This European Standard specifies a method for measuring the foaming power of a surface active agent and the antifoaming power of a defoamer with regard to a foaming solution.
The method is applicable to all surface active agents and particularly to low foaming products and antifoaming surface active agents.
However, measurement of the foaming power of solutions of readily hydrolyzable agents does not give valid results, as the hydrolysis products gather in the films of liquid and affect the persistence of the foam.

Grenzflächenaktive Stoffe - Schäumvermögen und Entschäumerwirkung - Verfahren mittels Turbinenrührgerät

Agents de surface - Pouvoir moussant et pouvoir antimoussant - Méthode d'agitation par turbine

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de mesurage du pouvoir moussant d'un agent de surface et du pouvoir antimoussant d'un antimoussant vis-a-vis d'une solution moussante.
La méthode est applicable a tous les agents de surface et en particulier aux produits faiblement moussants et aux agents de surface antimoussants.
Toutefois, le mesurage du pouvoir moussant des solutions d'agents de surface facilement hydrolysables ne donne pas de résultats valables, puisque les produits d'hydrolyse se rassemblent dans les films de liquide et intervient sur la persistance de la mousse.

EN 13996:2002 (E)5In this European Standard, antifoaming power is characterised by the evolution of the volume of foam obtainedimmediately and the stability of this volume during the 15 min following its formation, as a function of the defoamercontent of the reference foaming solution, under specific experimental conditions. Temperature is a significantparameter.4 PrincipleA foam is produced by stirring a surface active agent solution, or a reference foaming solution containing adefoamer, using a turbine stirrer.The volume of foam obtained immediately is measured and the evolution of this volume during the 15 min followingits formation is monitored to determine the foaming power of the surface active agent, or the defoaming power ofthe defoamer with regard to the reference foaming solution.NOTEBy varying the stirring methods, (for example by changing the stirrer, rotating speed, the presence of counterblades,baffle, the stirring duration) the procedure can be modified to give results for a wide range of applications.5 Reagents5.1Water, grade 3, in accordance with EN ISO 3696.5.2Reference foaming agent, either nonylphenol 10 EO, with a cloud temperature of (64 ± 2) °C or saponin,analytical grade.6 ApparatusOrdinary laboratory apparatus and the following.NOTEPerfect cleanliness of the apparatus is essential for the success of the test.
