CARBOWET 138 SURFACTANT

CARBOWET 138 SURFACTANT is a multifunctional nonionic surfactant that provides rapid substrate and pigment wetting. As a clear, low-odor liquid with 100% activity, CARBOWET 138 SURFACTANT features excellent ease-of-use. With an HLB of 13.9, it can function as an environmentally preferable alternative to certain APEs. CARBOWET 138 SURFACTANT is typically used at 0.5-1% in formulations to enhance wetting of substrates and pigments. Its low viscosity and cost effectiveness make it suitable for various applications where uniform spreading and stabilization of components is required. Its ability to compatibilize mixtures and emulsify immiscible substances aids in creating homogenous, defect-free finishes during application.
