The full chemical name of Penetrant JFC-2 is Octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (also known as Triton X-100), appearing as a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid. Its molecular formula is C14H22O(C2H2O)nH (n≈9-10), with a molecular weight of approximately 625. The product exhibits nonionic characteristics, with good compatibility with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric additives, providing flexible formulation adaptability for various complex process environments.
This product can rapidly reduce interfacial tension, with a 1% aqueous solution surface tension of approximately 30 mN/m and a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of about 130 mg/L, endowing it with excellent wetting and penetrating capabilities. Additionally, the product is chemically stable, showing good tolerance to acids, alkalis, and hard water media. Its flash point is >200°C, it is not easily hygroscopic, and it maintains ideal performance at room temperature to moderate temperatures.
