Technical Details & Test Data
- Hydrotrope/ Coupling Property
There are several ways to test hydrotroping properties. A classic method is to test a 3-component system of a nonionic surfactant, a source of electrolyte and a set amount of a test hydrotrope. Initially, the test solutions are clear at room temperature. As the temperature rises, the nonionic will eventually cloud out. The higher the temperature reached, the more effective the hydrotrope.
