Performance Highlights
Excellent Wetting & Spreading: Dramatically reduces surface tension, enhancing substrate coverage.
Broad Compatibility: Mixes easily with solvents, resins, and aqueous or organic systems.
Thermal & pH Stability: Remains effective across wide temperature and pH ranges.
Versatile Functionality: Functions as a wetting agent, flow/leveling additive, antifoam component, and softener.
Typical Applications
1. Agriculture
Used as a wetting and spreading agent in agrochemical formulations (e.g., pesticides, herbicides, foliar fertilizers).
Enhances spray coverage, adhesion, and active ingredient uptake on plant surfaces.
2. Textile & Leather Finishing
Acts as a softener and hydrophilic agent, improving moisture management and hand-feel of fabrics.
3. Paints, Coatings & Inks
Serves as a leveling and flow agent to reduce surface defects and improve film uniformity.
Helps prevent cratering and orange peel effects.
4. Personal Care & Cosmetics
Used in emulsions, creams, and lotions to improve skin feel, spreadability, and moisturizing performance.
5. Industrial Cleaning
Enhances wetting and penetration in cleaning solutions for superior removal of dirt and oils.
6. Polyurethane Systems
Functions as a foam stabilizer and pore-size controller in rigid foam production.
7. Plastic Films
Applied in agricultural films to provide anti-fog and increased light transmission in greenhouse applications.
8. Defoamers
Acts as a key component in the formulation of self-emulsifying and refinery-grade defoamers.
