ASTM's soaps and polishes standards are instrumental in the preparation and evaluation of surfactant products that are usually used in conjunction with water for washing, cleaning, and polishing. Such products include soaps, detergents, bleaches, waxes, and polishes. These standards help identify the certain physical and chemical properties of soaps and polishes such as particle size, pH, cloud point, recoatability, glide adhesion, freeze/thaw resistance, cleaning efficiency, and foaming properties among others. These soaps and polishes standards help guide product manufacturers in the proper methods of producing and testing such products to ensure quality towards safe use.
