- Application Details
- WETSOFT® CTA can be applied as an aqueous dilution by padding as well as by the exhaust process. 10-20g/l WETSOFT® CTA are recommended for the pad application.
- WETSOFT® CTA can easily be processed into stable emulsions. To do so, just mix WETSOFT® CTA with e.g. acetic acid and then stir with water. After mixing for about ten minutes, a milky emulsion is obtained. For easier incorporation of water and better stability of the end product, co-emulsifiers, e.g. diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, or glycerol, can be used.
- 20.0 parts WETSOFT® CTA
- 0.5 parts glacial acetic acid
- 7.0 parts diethylene glycol monobutylether
- Mix these components homogeneously. Stir in 72.5 parts water to obtain a microemulsion.
