Clariant Genamin SH 100 DP Wetting Agent – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Genamin SH 100 DP in industrial formulations?

A: Genamin SH 100 DP is a cationic silicone-based wetting and surface-modifying agent designed to reduce surface tension, improve substrate wetting—especially on low-energy surfaces—and enhance leveling and gloss in aqueous and solvent-borne systems.


Q2: Is Genamin SH 100 DP compatible with anionic surfactants or common paint additives?

A: Due to its cationic nature, Genamin SH 100 DP is generally incompatible with anionic surfactants and may form precipitates or lose efficacy when mixed directly. It is best used in cationic or nonionic-dominated systems, and compatibility should be verified experimentally in each specific formulation.


Q3: In which types of coatings or inks is Genamin SH 100 DP most commonly applied?

A: It is widely used in decorative and industrial water-based coatings, UV-curable systems, and specialty inks—particularly where improved substrate adhesion, reduced cratering, and enhanced flow on plastics, metals, or treated films are required.


Q4: How should Genamin SH 100 DP be incorporated into a formulation?

A: It is typically added during the let-down stage under moderate agitation. Pre-dilution with water or a compatible solvent is recommended for uniform dispersion. Dosage depends on formulation requirements but generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight of the total system.
