- Properties and Applications
METOLAT 368 is a non-ionic, silicone free wetting agent for water-based systems. It improves substrate wetting and leveling. The product is VOC free according to 2004/42/EC.
Dynamic surface tensions:
- 0.1 % at 1 Hz: 54 mN/m
- 0.1 % at 10 Hz: 62 mN/m
- 0.5 % at 1 Hz: 28 mN/m
- 0.5 % at 10 Hz: 32 mN/m
- Recommended Levels and Use
METOLAT 368 is universally suitable for all common substrates. Normally a dosage of 0.1 to 2 % on finished product is sufficient. Ladder studies are recommended to determine the optimum level.
