Properties<br />
wetting agent with low foaming<br />
tendency<br />
wetting agent <strong>for</strong> pigment and<br />
substrate wetting<br />
Characteristics<br />
• high stability to alkaline and acid<br />
systems<br />
• good compatibility due to non-ionic<br />
character<br />
• biodegradable product<br />
• especially <strong>for</strong> use in environmentally<br />
safe systems<br />
Applications<br />
• wetting agent <strong>for</strong> aqueous systems<br />
• <strong>for</strong> wetting of organic pigments<br />
• improves compatibility and levelling<br />
in emulsion paints and lacquers<br />
• wetting of organic pigments<br />
• improves pigment dispersion in<br />
emulsion paints<br />
• prevents flocculation of particles<br />
caused by emulsifier migration and<br />
mechanical or thermal shocks<br />
