Application: Effectively reduces the surface tension of water-based coatings
Applications of Rhodoline 1865
High-gloss coatings
Elastomeric coatings
Water-based epoxy
Transparent coatings
Q1: What is Rhodoline 1864 primarily used for?
A: Rhodoline 1864 is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant designed to enhance wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying properties in water-based industrial formulations—particularly in coatings, inks, and cleaning systems where low foam and good substrate compatibility are required.
Q2: Is Rhodoline 1864 compatible with common anionic and cationic additives?
A: Yes, as a non-ionic surfactant, Rhodoline 1864 generally exhibits broad compatibility with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric ingredients, making it suitable for complex multi-additive systems—though compatibility testing under actual formulation conditions is always recommended.
Q3: How should Rhodoline 1864 be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added during the aqueous phase of the formulation process, either neat or pre-diluted. Due to its low foaming character and good hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, it can be introduced early or late in the process depending on the desired dispersion stability and rheological profile.
Q4: Does Rhodoline 1864 require special handling or storage conditions?
A: Rhodoline 1864 should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents. It is stable under standard ambient conditions, but prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures may affect viscosity and clarity—allow gentle warming and mixing before use if crystallization occurs.
