Optimize Your Product’s Liquid Foam Quality with DFA100LCM
The DFA100LCM by Krüss is a state-of-the-art analyzer designed to measure the moisture content in foams over time at various heights. By utilizing the foam’s conductivity as a key indicator, the LCM Liquid Content Module delivers invaluable insights into foam stability. This information is crucial for enhancing products where moisture is a significant factor, including washing foams.
Applications Across Industries
This versatile tool is perfect for analyzing washing and cleaning foams, foams used in food and personal care, surfactant development, firefighting foams, and even for flotation processes in solid separation. Its ability to measure foamability and stability, alongside moisture and drainage behavior, makes it indispensable in quality control and product development.
Why Choose DFA100LCM?
With the ability to perform consecutive measurements and display results cohesively, the DFA100LCM ensures fast and reliable assessment of foam’s maximum liquid content, decay time, and drainage curve. Discover the DFA100LCM’s application in real-world scenarios, from rapid foam stability measurements that circumvent lengthy observation periods to its comprehensive foam characterization capabilities facilitated by Krüss’s proprietary ADVANCE software.
