The main chemical component of the environmentally friendly penetrant JFC-M alcohol is fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, which is a nonionic surfactant.

Detailed Description

The environmentally friendly penetrant JFC-M alcohol is a nonionic surfactant product with fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether as the core active component. Its molecular structure consists of a hydrophobic long-chain fatty alcohol and a hydrophilic polyoxyethylene ether chain segment. By adjusting the number of ethylene oxide (EO) adducts, it achieves an ideal balance between penetration, wetting, and emulsification performance.

This product database also lists an alias of 2-ethoxyethanol (ethylene glycol monoethyl ether / ethyl cellosolve), with CAS number 5689-56-3. Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether substances are often used as co-solvents or coupling components in formulations, helping to improve low-temperature fluidity and formulation compatibility. Practical industrial products typically use fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether as the main component, supplemented with a small amount of alcohol ether solvents to achieve better comprehensive performance.

This product does not contain APEO (alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether), meets the requirements of global mainstream environmental regulations, and has excellent biodegradability (under OECD 301B standard, 28-day degradation rate >60%). It belongs to a new generation of green environmentally friendly penetrants.

Application Recommendations

Based on the chemical structure characteristics of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, JFC-M alcohol performs excellently in the following areas:

  • Textile printing and dyeing pretreatment: Utilizing its strong penetrating and wetting power, it accelerates the penetration of alkali liquor and auxiliaries into fibers during desizing, scouring, and bleaching processes of cotton, linen, etc., improving scouring efficiency and capillary effect.
  • Industrial hard surface cleaning: Effectively penetrates between oil stains and substrates such as metal and plastic, promoting emulsification and removal of oil stains.
  • Leather degreasing: Accelerates the penetration of degreasing agents into the leather, improving the emulsification removal efficiency of natural fats.
  • Papermaking process: Suitable for felt cleaning and waste paper deinking, enhancing the suspension and separation ability of ink particles.
  • Pesticide synergist: Used as a tank-mix adjuvant to reduce the surface tension of the spray liquid, enhancing wetting, spreading, and penetration performance.

Precautions

  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, recommended temperature 5°C to 40°C, avoid freezing and high temperature exposure.
  • Seal the container immediately after use to prevent moisture evaporation and contamination.
  • Compatible with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric auxiliaries, good compatibility.
  • It is recommended to wear protective gloves and goggles during operation, avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
  • Shelf life: 24 months from the production date under unopened conditions.
