| Abstract: | Foam Stabilization and Foam Inhibition After a general review on the field of foam stabilization and foam inhibition in the sector of washing, rinsing and cleansing agents, the recent developments in the field of foam inhibition are treated. According to these recently acquired knowledges, it is possible to regulate the foam formation by varying the temperature, however, independent of the hardness of water. Besides the chemical natures also the mechanisms of foam stabilization and foam inhibition are dealt with. |
