What is BS EN 13716- Determine the total base nitrogen content in surface-active agents about?
BS EN 13716 discusses surface-active agents. BS EN 13716 specifies a method for the determination of total base nitrogen content in surface-active agents by potentiometric titration.
Potentiometric titration is a technique like direct titration of a redox reaction. It is a useful means of characterizing an acid.
Who is BS EN 13716 - Determine the total base nitrogen content in surface-active agents for?
BS EN 13716 on determining the total base nitrogen content in surface-active agents is useful for:
- Cosmetic manufacturers
- Detergents manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
- Testing laboratories
Why should you use BS EN 13716- Determine the total base nitrogen content in surface-active agents ?
A surface-active agent is a substance that reduces the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved, thereby increasing its spreading and wetting properties. BS EN 13716 provides you with guidance on the determination of total base nitrogen content in surface-active agents by potentiometric titration.
BS EN 13716 guides you with the reagents and apparatus required for the test procedure and helps you with the sampling and preparation of the sample. BS EN 13716 guides you with the procedure of the test and the expression of results.
