Abstract:

The use of a fast and effective titration-style method for HLD measurement allows for the determination of the characteristic curvature or EACN of many compounds in a short time. The ease of access afforded by this method enables agile application of HLD theory to product development, something previously held back by cumbersome testing methods, and opens the door to the formulation of targeted, highly optimized cleaners.
