摘要 |
A carrier fluid foam, which enhances the functional performance of liquids containing one or more functional active agents such as cleaners, lubricants, agricultural chemicals, household chemicals, industrial chemicals, institutional chemicals, medicinal chemicals, cosmetic chemicals and pharmaceutical chemicals, contains a solution of the functional active agent and a surfactant and has a particular combination of foam syneresis value, foam horizontal thickness half-life, and vertical wall clingability, and compared to liquids containing the same active agents, provides superior performance, normally without scrubbing. The carrier fluid foam is produced by vigorous agitation of the solution containing the active agent and a surfactant in the presence of a gas, or by injection of a pressurized propellant into an aerosol dispenser containing such solution and then passing the solution/propellant mix through a mechanical break-up actuator in the valve assembly of the aerosol dispenser.
