Abstract
Amplitude equations for Turing instabilities for two models describing dyna mics of thin liquid films with nonsoluble surfactants are derived. Analytic al expressions for the film rupture time were obtained, and the comparison with the results of previous numerical simulations was performed. It was sh own that the Marangoni effect due to insoluble surfactants cannot prevent t he film rupture.
