tensão superficial


Explanation:
Veja p. ex. em: http://scarlet.cnpuv.embrapa.br/sprod/pessego/defensi.htm

Tensão superficial - a água apresenta alta tensão superficial. Isso faz com que a gota depositada numa superfície permaneça esférica, fazendo com que tenha pouca superfície de contato. Adicionando-se um agente tensoativo ou surfactante, a gota se espalha facilmente na superfície, molhando mais área. Algumas formulações já apresentam agentes molhantes, emulsionantes incorporados, porém na sua ausência torna-se necessária a adição de agentes tensoativos, conhecidos como espalhantes adesivos, para melhorar a performace da aplicação.
