| CLARIANT provides a variety of wetting agents suitable for water-based coatings, which can effectively reduce the surface tension of the coating system, improve the wettability of the coating substrate, and reduce the wetting time of pigments and fillers. In addition, some of Clariant's wetting agents and dispersants can have a synergistic effect when used together to better improve the dispersion stability and storage durability of coatings. |
| Product Type | Chemical Composition | Active Substance Content | Lonicity | Surface Tension | Characteristic |
| Emulsogen LCN070 | Alkyl polyoxyethylene ether | ~70% | Nonionic | 26 | Wetting agent for coatings, more suitable for adjusting the compatibility of white coatings and color pastes to reduce the problem of floating colors and blooming. |
| Emulsogen LCN407 | Alkyl polyoxyethylene ether | ~70% | Nonionic | 45 | Wetting agent for coatings. It has excellent wetting and suspending properties of titanium dioxide and inorganic fillers. It can reduce batch-to-batch differences caused by different shear forces in coating production and improve the low-temperature freezing and thawing of coatings’ stability. |
| Genapol X 080 | Alkyl polyoxyethylene ether | ~100% | Nonionic | 27.1 | Wetting agent for coatings with excellent emulsifying properties to balance the compatibility between different hydrophilic and lipophilic substances. It is suitable for preparing wax emulsions and water-based modification of lipophilic substances. |
| Genapol ED 3060 | Block Polyether | ~100% | Nonionic | 34 | Color development enhancers or compatibilizers,it can improve the tinting properties of organic colors in coatings and have little impact on scrub resistance. |
| Genapol PF 40 | Block Polyether | ~100% | Nonionic | - | It is a low-foaming wetting agent that can reduce product bubbles during the coating preparation process. |
| Hostaphat 1306 | Alkyl polyoxyethylene ether phosphate | ~100% | Nonionic | 26 | Its wetting effect is fast and excellent. It can be used to improve the compatibility of inorganic colorants and architectural coatings and resist flash rust. It can be used in water-based industrial coatings. |
