Low Foam Penetrant SF is mainly used in five major industries: textile, industrial cleaning, papermaking, leather, and pesticide.

Detailed Description

Low Foam Penetrant SF (CAS: 26468-86-0) is a non-ionic surfactant (fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate ester) with some anionic characteristics. With its excellent low foam and rapid penetration, it plays a key role in multiple industrial fields.

Five Major Application Industries and Processes

IndustrySpecific ProcessFunction Description
Textile IndustryDesizing, scouring, bleaching, dyeingSuitable for pretreatment of cotton, linen, synthetic fibers and their blends, ensuring chemicals act uniformly and quickly inside the fiber, improving leveling and treatment effect
Industrial and Hard Surface CleaningCIP inline cleaning, high-pressure spray cleaning, metal parts cleaning, food processing equipment cleaningQuickly wet and penetrate dirt layers under low foam conditions, remove stubborn oil stains, and avoid foam overflow problems
Papermaking IndustryWaste paper deinking, pulp penetrationPromote separation of ink particles from fiber surface, improve deinking efficiency and pulp whiteness
Leather ProcessingSoaking, degreasingAccelerate liquid penetration into leather fibers, shorten soaking and softening time, assist in removing natural oils
Agricultural ChemicalsSynergic effect in formulations such as wettable powders and aqueous suspensionsAs a wetting and penetrating synergistic component, it reduces the surface tension of the liquid, enhances spreading and penetration ability, and improves pesticide utilization

Core Advantages

This product exhibits excellent chemical compatibility in acid, alkali, and hard water environments. It produces very low foam in dynamic cycling or high-speed spray systems. It is not classified as a dangerous chemical, has low skin irritation, and offers high safety in storage and transportation.
