Abstract:The effect of the addition of some chemical substances such as Sodium dodecyl sulfate, low carbon chain of fatty alcohols and some viscous substance (sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) on the foaming ability of rosin based foaming agent and its foam stability was investigated experimentally and systematically in this paper. Results showed that introduction of three low carbon chain of fatty alcohols into the rosin based foaming agent improved the foam stability effectively, and the addition of buryl alcohol showed the best effect, 1h bleeding ratio reduced from 37% to 22.4%, whereas sodium dodecyl sulfate presented the poorest one. Stability of the resultant foam was found improved significantly with the chain length of the introduced low carbon chain of fatty alcohols at the same dosage. The simultaneous addition of 0.16% normal butanol and viscous substance Sodium carboxy methyl cellulose into the 6% diluted rosin based foaming agent was proved the most effective to the foaming ability and the stability of the resultant foam, which presented its foaming ability 27.33 and its 1h bleeding ratio16.23%.
