CMC Assessment Techniques for Surfactant Concentration
Turns CMC determination into fast, repeatable surface tension measurement across a concentration series, catching a drifting surfactant system before it shows up as an unstable emulsion or foam.

Browse use cases in Surfactants, CMC, Emulsions and Foams.
Use cases showing how surface tension, contact angle, and surface energy measurement predict and control CMC, emulsion stability, and foam behavior earlier than a full stability or foam trial.

Screens frac and drilling fluid surfactants by surface and interfacial tension in your own brine and dose, so only the best go to core tests.
Reduces emulsion stability risk, creaming, coalescence, phase separation, and inversion, by quantifying interfacial surfactant performance early, before a full stability trial shows the failure.
Tunes foam formation, drainage, and batch variability by measuring the surface active signals that actually drive foam behavior, reducing trial and error in surfactant selection.
Measures inhalation formulation surface tension by pendant drop at the bench, beside viscosity and droplet size tests, so off target batches are found early.
Ranks lipid formulations by oil and water interfacial tension before vesicle runs, so lipids that pack poorly at the interface are dropped early.
Trends transformer oil interfacial tension with a quick pendant drop screen between lab tests, so aging units are flagged for full analysis sooner.
