Abstract
The paper discusses the theory of wetting and spreading of sprays containing spreader materials. The spreader materials tested were powdered skim milk plus lime, flour plus lime, saponin, casein plus lime and glue. Data and charts are given showing the surface tension curves, time required to wet clean glass plates and wax coated glass plates, and the quantity of lead arsenate deposited, when the spreader materials mentioned above were used at varying concentrations. Methods of spraying and obtaining the data are given.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
