Product Brief: Environmentally friendly wetting agent X - 407
HSH X - 407 is an environmentally friendly non - ionic wetting agent with isomeric alcohol polyether as the main component. It has excellent wetting and emulsifying properties, suitable for emulsion polymerization, latex paints, and other fields, while being low in VOC and free of APEO.


Product Advantage

  1. As a non - ionic surfactant with an HLB value of 18 (theoretical value), it offers excellent emulsifying and wetting properties. It can improve shear stability, temperature stability, and electrolyte stability in emulsion polymerization, with a recommended dosage of 2% of monomers.

  2. Contains 70 ± 2% active ingredients, ensuring high efficiency. It is low in VOC and free of APEO, meeting environmental requirements.

  3. Effectively enhances the color development and scratch resistance of latex paints. It improves the compatibility between colorants and emulsions, reducing floating and blooming in latex paints.

  4. Serves as an effective substitute for alkylphenol ethoxylates and sodium tripolyphosphate. It has better performance than natural alcohol ethers, providing good polymerization, chemical, mechanical, and freeze - thaw stability to emulsions.

  5. Can replace imported products like TO - 4070 and X407, ensuring stable supply and cost - effectiveness.

Product Uses

  1. Used as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization processes, suitable for the production of various polymer emulsions such as acrylic emulsions.

  2. Acts as a wetting agent in latex paint formulations, enhancing the application properties and finish of the paints.

  3. Applied in the formulation of environmentally friendly cleaning agents to improve the wetting and cleaning efficiency on various surfaces.

  4. Utilized in the production of inks to improve the wetting of pigments and the stability of ink emulsions.


Product Operate Guide

For emulsion polymerization: Add HSH X-407 at 1.5-2.5% of monomer weight during pre-emulsification, stir well (300-500 rpm) for 15-20 mins. For latex paints: Mix it with colorants first, then add to paint base, stir gently to avoid foam. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse with water if it happens.


FAQ

1、Q: How should I store HSH X-407 to maintain its performance?

A: Store it in a sealed plastic or stainless-steel container at 5-35°C, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Avoid mixing with strong acids/bases. Proper storage ensures a 12-month shelf life.

2、Q: Can HSH X-407 replace imported wetting agents like TO-4070 directly?

A: Yes, it's a direct substitute for TO-4070 and X407. Its HLB value (18) and active content (70±2%) match, so you can use it in the same dosage without adjusting your existing formulation.

3、Q: Is HSH X-407 compatible with water-based inks and cleaning agents?

A: Absolutely. As a non-ionic surfactant, it mixes well with water-based systems. It enhances pigment wetting in inks and boosts cleaning efficiency in detergents without causing phase separation.

4、Q: What should I do if HSH X-407 causes slight foam during use?

A: Reduce stirring speed (to below 300 rpm) or add a small amount of non-silicone defoamer (0.1-0.3% of total formulation). The foam is non-toxic and won't affect the final product's performance.
