Q1: What is the primary function of Crodafos C10/5A in industrial formulations?
A: Crodafos C10/5A is a phosphate ester-based wetting agent designed to rapidly reduce surface tension and improve substrate wetting—particularly on low-energy or difficult-to-wet surfaces such as plastics, metals, and pigmented systems. It enhances dispersion stability and promotes uniform film formation in water-based coatings, inks, and cleaning concentrates.
Q2: Is Crodafos C10/5A compatible with anionic and non-ionic surfactants?
A: Yes, Crodafos C10/5A exhibits good compatibility with a broad range of anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric surfactants. Its formulation allows for synergistic performance in complex surfactant blends—especially where rapid wetting and foam control are both required.
Q3: How does Crodafos C10/5A perform under varying pH conditions?
A: Crodafos C10/5A demonstrates robust performance across mildly acidic to neutral pH ranges (approximately pH 4–7). In strongly alkaline environments, hydrolysis may occur over time; therefore, it is recommended for use in stabilized systems or with appropriate pH buffering.
Q4: What is the typical dosage range for effective wetting in water-based coatings?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and substrate characteristics, but Crodafos C10/5A is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight of the total formulation—to achieve optimal wetting without compromising stability or appearance.
Q5: Can Crodafos C10/5A be used in food-contact or pharmaceutical applications?
A: Crodafos C10/5A is not specifically designed or certified for direct food-contact or pharmaceutical use. It is intended for industrial and technical applications such as industrial cleaners, metalworking fluids, and protective coatings. Customers requiring regulatory compliance for sensitive end uses should consult Croda’s regulatory team for suitability assessment.
