Features Of Clariant Emulsogen LCN 118 Wetting Agent

  1. High-efficiency nonionic surfactant based on alkylphenol ethoxylate chemistry for rapid substrate wetting.

  2. Excellent compatibility with anionic and nonionic systems in aqueous formulations.

  3. Low foaming profile suitable for high-shear industrial processes and automated dispensing equipment.

  4. Stable performance across a broad pH range (pH 4–11) and moderate temperature conditions.

  5. Effective reduction of surface tension to ≤32 mN/m at 0.1% active concentration in water at 25°C.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Emulsogen LCN 118 Wetting Agent

  1. Agrochemical adjuvants for herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide spray solutions.

  2. Industrial cleaning formulations including metal pretreatment and CIP (clean-in-place) detergents.

  3. Textile auxiliaries for dye bath leveling and penetration in cotton and polyester blends.

  4. Coating additives to improve substrate wetting and reduce cratering in waterborne architectural paints.

  5. Printing ink components for enhanced pigment dispersion stability and substrate affinity.
