Penetrant JFC-2 Isomeric Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether (CAS: 9002-93-1) is a high-performance nonionic surfactant produced by Hai'an Guoli Chemical Co., Ltd., also known as Triton X-100, with excellent permeability, wetting spreading and chemical stability, widely used in textile, leather, papermaking, industrial cleaning and many other fields. < / h2 >

Detailed Description < / h3 >

Penetrant JFC-2 is a nonionic surfactant with isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether as the main component, chemically named octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether. The product appears as a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid. With its unique molecular structure (containing polyoxyethylene segments and octylphenyl hydrophobic groups), it can significantly reduce interfacial tension and accelerate the spreading and penetration of liquids into the substrate. The product has an effective content ≥99%, HLB value of 13.5, belongs to hydrophilic surfactants, and is easily soluble in water, alcohols, ketones and other organic solvents. < / p >

As a star product of Guoli Chemical, JFC-2 can exert excellent penetration performance at very low concentrations. In the standard canvas settlement test, the penetration time of 0.1% aqueous solution is only ≤5 seconds, which makes it particularly crucial in pre-treatment processes requiring rapid penetration such as textile printing and dyeing, leather processing. At the same time, its excellent chemical stability enables good tolerance to acids, alkalis and hard water media, allowing long-term stable use in complex process environments. < / p >

This product has good compatibility with anionic, cationic and amphoteric auxiliaries, flexible formulation, and is very convenient for compounding. Both under normal temperature and medium temperature conditions, JFC-2 can maintain ideal penetration effect, with wide operating window and easy process control, making it an indispensable high-efficiency additive in industrial formulations. < / p >
