Environmentally friendly penetrant JFC-M alcohol (also known as 2-ethoxyethanol, ethylene glycol ethyl ether, ethyl cellosolve, CAS No.: 5689-56-3) is a green and environmentally friendly auxiliary agent produced by Haian Guoli Chemical Co., Ltd. The product appears as a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid, with a chemical composition of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, belonging to the category of non-ionic surfactants.
This product has six core advantages: Efficient Penetration and Wetting – It can achieve deep penetration and uniform wetting in an extremely short time, significantly improving process efficiency; Excellent Chemical Compatibility – It remains stable under a wide range of acid, alkali, and hard water conditions; Environmentally Friendly – It does not contain APEO, has excellent biodegradability (OECD 301B standard, 28-day degradation rate > 60%), and complies with major global environmental regulations; Low Foaming Tendency – Foam is well controlled, easy to rinse, reducing water consumption and energy usage; Good Compatibility – It can be compounded with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric auxiliaries, with broad formulation adaptability; Safe to Use – Acute oral toxicity LD50 > 2000 mg/kg, non-irritating to skin and eyes, classified as a low-toxicity substance.
As a representative product of the new generation of environmentally friendly penetrants, JFC-M alcohol can effectively replace traditional APEO penetrants, helping enterprises meet increasingly stringent environmental compliance requirements.
1. Textile Printing and Dyeing: Used as a pretreatment penetrant and scouring agent in processes such as desizing, scouring, and bleaching of cotton and linen fibers, quickly wetting the fibers, accelerating the penetration of alkali and auxiliaries, improving scouring effect, whiteness, and capillary effect, while promoting the rapid swelling and removal of fiber size and impurities.
2. Industrial Hard Surface Cleaning: Used for degreasing and cleaning hard surfaces such as metal parts, equipment containers, and plastics. It can effectively penetrate between the oil stain and the substrate, quickly peel off and emulsify the oil, significantly improving cleaning efficiency.
3. Leather Processing: In the degreasing process, it accelerates the penetration of degreasing agents into the leather board, improving the emulsification and removal efficiency of natural oils, making degreasing more uniform and thorough, ensuring leather feel and dyeing uniformity.
4. Papermaking Process: Used for online cleaning of paper machine fabrics and felts, helping detergents penetrate the felt and efficiently remove deposits such as resin, stickies, and ink; also enhances the suspension and separation ability of ink particles during waste paper deinking, improving pulp cleanliness.
5. Pesticide Formulations: Used as a penetration enhancer or tank-mix adjuvant, reducing the surface tension of the spray liquid, enhancing wetting, spreading, and penetration on target surfaces such as plant leaves and insect bodies, improving pesticide utilization and control efficacy.
