What is BS 6829-1.3- Alkalinity of surface-active agents about?
BS 6829 discusses the analysis of surface-active agents. BS 6829-1.3 belongs to the BS 6829 multi-series and discusses the determination of alkalinity. BS 6829-1.3 specifies a titrimetric method for the determination of the alkalinity of surface-active agents, in general.
This method in BS 6829-1.3 is applicable only if so, indicated in the specific standard for each product; in particular, it is not suitable for products containing soaps.
Who is BS 6829-1.3- Alkalinity of surface-active agents for?
BS 6829-1.3 on the determination of the alkalinity of surface-active agents is useful for:
- Detergent manufacturers
- Cosmetic manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
- Testing laboratories
Why should you use BS 6829-1.3- Alkalinity of surface-active agents?
Solutions, pastes and powders of organic surface-active substances, in particular those which contain hydrolysable products, can become weakly alkaline as a result of various breakdown reactions.
The method specified BS 6829-1.3 is based on the determination of the alkalis in the form of carbonates, bicarbonates, alkali hydroxides or free organic bases such as triethanolamine. BS 6829-1.3 guides you with the reagents, apparatus and sampling required for the test.
BS 6829-1.3 guides you with the test procedure and expression results. BS 6829-1.3 helps you to maintain the alkalinity of surface-active agents.
