FOAMING BEHAVIOR of MEDIALAN LD:
Medialan LD has very good foaming properties especially insoft water anddisplays interesting synergistic and foam-stabilising properties when combinedwith other surfactants, e.g. alkyl ether sulphates.
The foaming behaviour of Medialan LD also depends on the pH of the finishedproduct. 
Medialan LD is usually worthwhile to adjust the formulations to a slightly acid pHof between 5.5 and 6.5, for instance with citric acid.
Foam stability in relation to time is also considerably better in the weakly acidthan in the alkaline pH range.
Compared with some other surfactants, Medialan LD has excellent foamingpower in electrolyte-containing solutions.
