Products in Industrial & Assembly Adhesives: Wetting Agent

CARBOWET® GA-100 is a surfactant meticulously crafted through the optimal blend of non-ionic additives. Its purpose is to offer multifaceted advantages in various aqueous formulations, including wetting, stabilization, and compatibilization. This remarkable surfactant excels in providing exceptional low-foam pigment wetting and milling efficiency, all without the typical issues related to water sensitivity, foam generation, and rheological problems commonly associated with APE surfactants. The versatility of CARBOWET® GA-100 extends its performance to a wide spectrum of applications and formulations, where its dynamic wetting capabilities combined with compatibilization and stabilization can yield unique benefits. Importantly, CARBOWET® GA-100 is formulated without added APEs or solvents, making it an easily incorporable liquid additive. Notably, it shines brightest in architectural paint mills, where it delivers its peak performance. 2

DYNOL® 607 is a high-performance, non-ionic superwetter capable of delivering the exceptional equilibrium and dynamic surface tension reduction synonymous with the Dynol name. It also boasts improved ease-of-incorporation and formulation compatibility compared to the more hydrophobic DYNOL® 607 Surfactant. Furthermore, comparative wetting performance tests have confirmed that DYNOL® 607 Surfactant is a valuable replacement for conventional fluorosurfactants and offers a cost-effective, non-persistent alternative to emerging fluorosurfactant technology.

DYNOL® 604 is a high-performance, non-ionic organic superwetter known for its excellent equilibrium and dynamic surface tension reduction, a hallmark of the Dynol brand. It exhibits lower foam and dynamic surface tension values compared to the more hydrophilic DYNOL® 607 surfactant. Moreover, comparative wetting performance tests have demonstrated that DYNOL® 604 Surfactant serves as an excellent alternative to conventional fluorosurfactants and offers a cost-effective solution in place of new fluorosurfactant technology.

MUNZING’s METOLAT 700 series are APEO free wetting agents with excellent equilibrium and dynamic surface tension reduction for a wide range of coating and ink applications. The METOLAT 700 wetting agent product range has varying HLB’s specifically designed to provide optimal performance based on the customer’s system chemistry and application requirements.

CoatOSil™ 77 coatings additive. It generally promotes a uniform finish and its air-release capacity can help to minimize defect formation. In addition, it can enable formulations to generate exceptionally low surface tensions - even when used in low dosages.

ADDAPT BioWet 35 is a solvent free, ready biodegradable wetting/leveling agent for aqueous systems such as cleaning agents and coatings/lacquers on wood substrates. ADDAPT BioWet 35 exhibits good dynamic and static surface tension values. A blend of PolyAlkylene Glycols, dispersants and Polyhydroxy - Amide. The ingredients are EINECS registered.

ADDAPT BioWet 150R is a solvent free, ready biodegradable wetting agent which improves the Wet-Edge (open time) and Water Retention. It is a Polyhydroxy - Amide. The product is EINECS registered.
