Wetting Agent E-70 [MC-RM-AC-002]

Product Description

Wetting Agent E-70 is a commonly used surfactant, primarily used in various industries such as coatings, inks, adhesives, and cleaning agents. It significantly improves the wetting properties of liquids on solid surfaces, enhancing coating, bonding, and cleaning performance. Below is a detailed explanation of Wetting Agent E-70:

Basic Information:
  • Name: Wetting Agent E-70
  • Composition: Wetting Agent E-70 is mainly composed of nonionic surfactants, which can reduce the surface tension of liquids and increase the affinity between liquids and solid surfaces.
  • Appearance: Typically a colorless or pale yellow transparent liquid.
  • Solubility: Soluble in water and various organic solvents.
  • pH: The pH of Wetting Agent E-70 is generally between 5-7, making it suitable for most conventional applications.
Chemical Properties:
  • Surfactant: As a surfactant, Wetting Agent E-70 lowers the surface tension of liquids, allowing them to better wet solid surfaces, especially non-polar surfaces such as plastics and metals.
  • Nonionic: Wetting Agent E-70 is a nonionic surfactant, meaning it is not sensitive to changes in pH and remains stable over a wide pH range.
  • Hydrophilic and Water-Soluble: Wetting Agent E-70 has strong hydrophilicity, making it highly soluble and stable in water-based systems.
Safety and Precautions:
  • Low Toxicity: Wetting Agent E-70 is generally considered low in toxicity, but it is still important to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. Protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn during handling.
  • Flammability: Wetting Agent E-70 is typically non-flammable, but it should still be stored away from open flames and high-temperature environments.
  • Storage Conditions: Wetting Agent E-70 should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases.
Main Applications:
  1. Coatings Industry:
    • Wetting Agent E-70 is widely used in the production of water-based coatings and oil-based coatings. It improves the wetting properties of the coating, enhancing adhesion, uniformity, and smoothness of the coating film.
    • It effectively reduces bubbles and foam in coatings, improving the smoothness and flow properties of the coating.
  2. Ink Industry:
    • In the production of inks, Wetting Agent E-70 enhances the flow properties and dispersibility of inks, increasing the affinity between the ink and the substrate, and improving the coating performance.
    • It is also used in the production of varnishes, ensuring a uniform ink coating without air bubbles.
  3. Adhesives Industry:
    • Wetting Agent E-70 acts as a wetting agent in adhesives, improving adhesion to low surface energy materials like polyethylene, polypropylene, and PTFE, and enhancing bonding strength.
    • It plays a crucial role in improving the bonding performance, especially in complex material bonding.
  4. Cleaning Agents:
    • In cleaning agents, Wetting Agent E-70 improves the contact between liquids and cleaning surfaces, helping to remove stains and grease, particularly when cleaning metal, glass, and plastic surfaces. It also reduces the formation of water droplets, enhancing the cleaning effect.
  5. Chemical Dispersants:
    • Wetting Agent E-70 is widely used as a chemical dispersant, helping to evenly disperse chemicals in liquids, reduce sedimentation, and improve product stability and effectiveness.
  6. Textile Industry:
    • In textile dyeing and finishing processes, Wetting Agent E-70 enhances the affinity between the dye and fibers, promoting dye penetration and uniform distribution, improving the dyeing effect and fastness.
