Everything about Foaming Agent totally explained
A
foaming agent is a surfactant, which when present in small amounts, facilitates the formation of a
foam, or enhances its colloidal stability by inhibiting the coalescence of bubbles.
Sodium laureth sulfate, or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (
SLES), is a
detergent and
surfactant found in many personal care products (
soaps,
shampoos,
toothpaste etc.). It is an inexpensive and very effective
foamer.
Sodium lauryl sulfate (also known as sodium dodecyl sulfate or
SLS) and
ammonium lauryl sulfate (
ALS) are commonly used alternatives to SLES in consumer products. While SLS is a known irritant, some evidence and research suggest that SLES can also cause irritation after extended exposure.
Also, a
foaming agent is a material that will
decompose to release a
gas under certain conditions (typically high temperature), which can be used to turn a
liquid into a
foam. For example, powdered
titanium hydride is used as a foaming agent in the production of
metal foams, as it decomposes to form
titanium and
hydrogen gas at elevated temperatures.
Zirconium(II) hydride is used for the same purpose.
