👉 The conditioning fluid, also known as surfactant, is a specialized liquid used in various industrial and medical applications to modify the surface properties of liquids. It works by reducing surface tension, allowing liquids to spread more easily, mix better, and prevent the formation of bubbles or emulsions. This fluid typically contains molecules with both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts, enabling it to interact with both water and oil-based substances. By adjusting the composition of the conditioning fluid, it can be tailored to suit specific needs, such as enhancing the wetting properties of a surface, improving the stability of emulsions, or facilitating the removal of contaminants. In medical contexts, it can help in the application of topical treatments by ensuring they adhere better to skin and penetrate more effectively.
