SURFACE TENSION AND EFFICACY OF CHEMICALS.
Surface tension is an effect within the surface layer of a liquid that causes that layer to behave as an elastic sheet. It allows insects, such as the water strider (pond skater, UK), to walk on water. It allows small metal objects such as needles, razor blades, or foil fragments to float on the surface of water, and it is the cause of capillary action. Whenever a raindrop falls, or a child splashes in a swimming pool, or a cleaning agent is mixed with water, or an alcoholic beverage is stirred in a glass, the effects of surface tension are visible.
The physical and chemical behavior of liquids cannot be understood without taking surface tension into account. It governs the shape that small masses of liquid can assume and the degree of contact a liquid can make with another substance.
Applying Newtonian physics to the forces that arise due to surface tension accurately predicts many liquid behaviors that are so commonplace that most people take them for granted. Applying thermodynamics to those same forces further predicts other more subtle liquid behaviors.APSA-80 helps in reducing surface tension and thus smooth entry of chemicals in side the leaf.
