Croda Atplus UCL-1007 Wetting Agent – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of formulations is Atplus UCL-1007 typically used in?

A: Atplus UCL-1007 is widely employed in aqueous-based industrial coatings, architectural paints, and waterborne inks where rapid substrate wetting and improved pigment dispersion are required. It is especially valued in low-VOC and high-solids systems due to its efficient surface activity at low dosage levels.


Q2: How does Atplus UCL-1007 differ from conventional nonionic surfactants in performance?

A: Unlike many standard ethoxylated nonionics, Atplus UCL-1007 offers enhanced dynamic surface tension reduction, which supports superior substrate wetting on low-energy surfaces—such as plastics or partially cured films—without compromising foam stability or long-term formulation compatibility.


Q3: Is Atplus UCL-1007 compatible with common co-surfactants and rheology modifiers?

A: Yes, it demonstrates broad compatibility with anionic and zwitterionic surfactants, as well as associative and non-associative thickeners—including cellulose ethers and hydrophobically modified alkali-swellable emulsions (HASE)—making it suitable for complex, multi-component formulations.


Q4: What is the recommended addition method for optimal performance?

A: For best results, Atplus UCL-1007 should be added during the let-down stage, after pigment grinding and before thickener incorporation. It can be dosed neat or pre-diluted in water, and benefits from gentle mixing to ensure uniform distribution without excessive shear.
