What are the main characteristics of Low Foam Penetrant SF?

Low Foam Penetrant SF is a nonionic surfactant (fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate) that combines low foam properties, rapid penetration, and broad chemical compatibility, while also exhibiting partial anionic characteristics. It is widely used in textiles, industrial cleaning, papermaking, leather, and pesticide enhancement.

Detailed Description

The molecular structure of Low Foam Penetrant SF is specially designed. Its most prominent feature is extremely low foam generation in dynamic circulation cleaning or high-speed jet systems, effectively avoiding production interruptions and equipment damage risks caused by foam overflow, significantly improving operational efficiency. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for high-pressure spray cleaning and CIP online cleaning processes that require strict foam control.

In terms of penetration performance, the product can quickly wet and penetrate into the interior of fabric fibers, dirt layers, and micropores on the substrate surface, efficiently stripping and dispersing impurities, effectively reducing processing time. At the same time, it exhibits excellent chemical stability in acid, alkali, and hard water environments, and can be widely used in processes with different pH requirements. The performance is durable and reliable, not easily affected by water quality fluctuations.

From a safety perspective, Low Foam Penetrant SF is not classified as a hazardous chemical, has low skin irritation (rabbit skin irritation score less than 0.5), is a non-flammable liquid, and has high safety in storage and transportation. The acute oral toxicity LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw, indicating low acute toxicity under normal use conditions, and operational risk is controllable.

Application Suggestions

Low Foam Penetrant SF can be widely used in the following scenarios:

• Textile Industry: Suitable for desizing, scouring, bleaching, and dyeing pretreatment processes of cotton, linen, synthetic fibers, and their blended fabrics, ensuring uniform and rapid penetration of chemicals into the fiber interior.
• Industrial and Hard Surface Cleaning: Used in formulating high-efficiency low-foam cleaners for metal parts, food processing equipment cleaners, and high-pressure spray cleaners.
• Paper Industry: Applied in deinking processes for waste paper, promoting rapid separation of ink particles from fiber surfaces, improving deinking efficiency and pulp brightness.
• Leather Processing: Helps chemical materials quickly penetrate into the leather in soaking and degreasing processes, shortening soaking time and effectively removing natural oils.
• Pesticide Enhancement: As a spray adjuvant, it significantly reduces the surface tension of the spray solution, enhances wetting, spreading, and penetration, and improves pesticide utilization.

Precautions

• Storage temperature should be controlled between 5°C and 35°C. Keep containers sealed and store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, away from direct sunlight.
• It is recommended to wear chemical safety goggles and protective gloves during operation, and wash hands thoroughly after operation.
• Keep away from strong oxidizers and other incompatible materials. Do not store together with food, feed, or drinking water.
• Empty containers may contain residues. Do not use for storing other substances without professional cleaning.
