Oil Foaming Test in Wigan, UK

Enquiry:

Do you do oil foaming testing ? We manufacture a non-setting sealant and want to know whether any potential breakdown of the sealant in oil at temperature would cause oil foaming. Any make of gearbox oil would be OK initially.

Liquid Soap Testing in UK

Enquiry:

I am from the UK. I have already sent samples off to two labs but they can not accredit the results, so I am hoping that you might be able to help.

In short, I make liquid soap using a ‘Water Kefir’ base. I am trying to get either the soap or water kefir tested for LAB, any probiotics, or anything, such as vitamins or minerals, within the content that can enhance certification and trust.

My water kefir is classed as a water, juice or fermented drink so after reading a few pages on your website I feel that you might be able to help with this. I am not sure if you can help with testing the liquid soap though. Please advise on this.

Going by the above can you please let me know if you can help, and if so any test prices and details.
