Technical Details & Test Data

Modified Ross-Miles Foam Height

The foam height of DeIONIC LF-EP-15 was determined at ambient temperature, at 0.1% by weight in deionized water using a modified Ross-Miles graduated cylinder shake test. It is the lowest foaming product in the DeIONIC LF-EP series with an initial foam height of only 10 m/s.
