Chinese Factory Sell Silicone Super Wetter Analogue for Siltech A008UP
Aug 1, 2023
Product Name: Silicone Surfactant
Item No.: SilibaseCP-3008
Composition：
Special Polyether Siloxane Copolymer.
Description:
SilibaseCP-3008 Silicone Super Wetter is a very low molecular weight ethoxylated polydimethylsiloxane based on a distilled mono-functional trisiloxane intermediate. Therefore SilibaseCP-3008 is a mono- functional, water-dispersible silicone surfactant with excellent surface tension reduction, wetting and super spreading capabilities.
Key Features and Typical Benefits:
- Dispersible in water
- Low surface tension
- Impart excellent spreading and wetting
Typical Properties:
| Parameters | Result |
| Appearance | Clear, amber fluid |
| Viscosity at 25 ℃ | 20-60cs |
| Active content | 100% |
Application:
- Improves the wetting of water-borne coatings on difficult substrates.
- Improves the wetting of water reducible flexographic and rotographic inks on high slip polyethylene, polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate used in packaging.
- 0.2-1.0% as supplied calculated in the ink formulation.
Uses:
SilibaseCP-3008 surfactant lowers the surface tension of water to the 20-22 mN/m range at use levels around 0.01% (by weight.) This very low surface tension causes the aqueous solution to spread on or wet nearly all known surfaces.
In addition SilibaseCP-3008 and other trisiloxane based materials exhibit the very unique property of super spreading. Super spreading occurs when the solution covers a surface area much greater than that of normal surfactant solutions. This unique behavior is believed to be driven by the forces set up when the surfactant molecules are slow to repopulate a surface that has been stretched. Contact angles on most surfaces are 0° or nearly 0° and spreading is halted only by competition with evaporation of the water. Very few surfactants can do this; even fluoroalkyl surfactants which reduce surface tension to lower values do not super spread.
These low surface tension solutions of SilibaseCP-3008 also tend to flood through small openings which are normally protected from water penetration by high surface energy. For example, penetration of stomata on plant leaves; channels in textile fibres; biofilms; and pores on chitonous insect shells are all penetrated by these solutions. Any active ingredient dissolved in the solution is carried through as well.
These highly thin aqueous films are subject to rapid evaporation often allowing claims of quick dry on fabrics and hard surfaces.
SilibaseCP-3008 is used in tank-side agricultural sprays to minimize water usage, pesticide usage, pesticide residues and overspray.
SilibaseCP-3008 is also soluble in many organic solvents and many of theproperties translate to those non-aqueous formulations.
