Nonionic Wetting Agent
CAS Number: 68439-46-3
Ethoxylated alcohol nonionic wetting agent that provides effective substrate wetting and deaeration in waterborne coatings and inks without sensitizing the foam or impacting electrostatic charge. Its non-ionic character makes it compatible with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric systems. It helps eliminate fisheyes and cratering caused by surface tension differences.
