The solidifying properties of oils are harnessed in a wide range of industrial, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. These properties stem from the ability of certain oils to crystallize, harden, or form solid structures under specific conditions, such as temperature changes or interactions with other substances.
However, measuring the surface tension of such oils can be challenging due to their solidifying nature, specially when their melting point is high. To address this, the TRACKER™ drop tensiometer is equipped with a specialized syringe holder that allows the sample to be heated both in the syringe and at the needle tip, ensuring accurate measurements.
