What is the effect of Surface Tension + Gutter Protection

What is the effect of Surface Tension? Surface Tension is the property of water that can cause it to behave almost magnetically and cling to a surface. If you have ever seen a penny float in water, that is surface tension hard at work.

Of course many variables go into the surface tension property of a liquid such as, temperature, type of liquid, surface etc.

Water at 0 C has a surface tension of 75.64 as the water becomes warmer the surface tension decreases.

Sufactants or "self acting agents" can change how surface tension responds. For example detergents, paints, inks are all sufactants. So it's not just about design but also the materials that are used.

The picture of water running around the glass is also an example of how Gutter Remedy "draws" the water into the gutter.

It is important for Gutter Protection products that rely on surface tension to understand how it works.

At Gutter Remedy we have designed our products to make the most out of surface tension to eliminate your gutters becoming clogged.
