STEPCOTE W-119 is an effective wetting agent for use in waterborne coatings. It can be incorporated during the letdown phase of production or post added to the final formulation. Typical use level, based on active content, is 2 – 6 lbs/100 gallons, however, optimal dosing should be determined by performing a ladder study. STEPCOTE W-119, although primarily a wetting agent, may positively impact the following coatings properties:
- Gloss
- Low Foaming
- Color Acceptance
- Hiding
- Washability

Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Bulk Storage Information: Stainless steel and glass fiber-reinforced polyester tanks are recommended. Many oven-cured phenolic and epoxy/phenolic linings may also be used. Elevated storage temperature may be desirable to maintain ease of pumping. Temperatures up to 54 °C (130 °F) can be maintained for long periods of time without degradation of the product.
- STEPCOTE W-119 which has been stored in drums at temperatures below 24 °C (75 °F) may thicken or solidify. It may be fluidized by warming with a drum heater or in a steam room. Drums should be vented prior to heating to avoid excessive pressure build up. Product temperatures over 54 °C (130 °F) are not recommended.
- Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEPCOTE W-119. Contact with eyes, nose and prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling STEPCOTE W-119.
