Within experimental error, the coefficient defining the rate of spreading from the edge of a crystal of hexadecanol into a water surface is constant up to the equilibrium spreading pressure. The corresponding coefficient for powdered hexade- can01 also remains constant. The equilibrium spreading pressure of the crystal edge is significantly less than that of powdered hexadecanol.
