The non-foaming defoaming and wetting agent IOTA-4100, with its super wetting and non-foaming properties, has been widely applied in various industries such as water-based coatings, printing inks, and synthetic leather, becoming a key additive that drives production quality improvement and efficiency enhancement. Unlike traditional single-function additives, it can simultaneously solve multiple core problems in production, significantly reducing production costs and enhancing product competitiveness.
In the water-based coatings field, the core function of IOTA-4100 is to improve the wetting property of difficult-to-coat substrates and eliminate shrinkage defects. Traditional coatings, when sprayed on low surface energy substrates such as plastics and metals, are prone to problems such as coating contraction and uneven surface, which not only affect the appearance but also reduce the adhesion and protective performance of the coating. After adding IOTA-4100, it can quickly reduce the surface tension of the coating, allowing it to spread evenly, fundamentally avoiding shrinkage, and being suitable for various spraying and rolling processes.
In the printing ink industry, the wetting property of the substrate directly determines the clarity and color saturation of printing. IOTA-4100 can significantly enhance the wetting ability of the ink on various substrates, reducing problems such as ink accumulation and ink showing through, making the printing patterns clearer and the colors more uniform, especially suitable for high-demand packaging printing scenarios. Moreover, it can also be used for the wetting treatment of release paper for synthetic leather, improving the wetting property of the release paper surface, ensuring a smooth production process for synthetic leather and enhancing the surface flatness of the product, providing stable additive support for the synthetic leather industry.
