At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we recognize the critical role that specialty chemicals play in demanding industrial processes like electroplating and metalworking. These sectors rely on precise formulations to achieve high-quality surface treatments, efficient machining, and prolonged equipment life. Surfactants, in particular, are indispensable for their ability to modify surface properties and enhance fluid performance.

In electroplating, achieving a uniform and adherent metal coating is paramount. This requires the plating bath to wet the substrate effectively, ensuring that the electrical current is distributed evenly and that metal ions deposit uniformly across the entire surface. Foaming can also be a significant problem in plating baths, disrupting the process and affecting the quality of the deposited layer. This is where surfactants that offer excellent wetting and defoaming properties become essential.

Our modified acetylenic diol surfactant serves as a powerful additive for electroplating baths. Its capacity for providing low static and dynamic surface tension ensures that the plating solution can effectively wet even complex geometries and difficult-to-reach areas of the workpiece. This leads to a more consistent and high-quality plated finish. As an electroplating wetting agent, it helps eliminate surface defects caused by poor wetting or excessive foaming, contributing to superior product quality.

Similarly, in metalworking fluids (MWFs), surfactants are crucial for a variety of functions. They help in lubricating the cutting tool and workpiece, cooling the area of operation, and flushing away metal chips and debris. Effective wetting is necessary for the MWF to form a protective film between the metal surfaces, reducing friction and wear. Furthermore, many MWFs are water-based, and like other waterborne systems, they can benefit from surfactants that improve substrate wetting and stability.

Our surfactant's characteristics make it an excellent additive for metalworking fluids as well. Its ability to reduce surface tension allows the MWF to spread more effectively, providing better lubrication and cooling where it's needed most. The 'silicone- and oil-free' formulation is also advantageous, as it can help prevent certain types of surface contamination or film formation that might be undesirable in some metalworking applications. Its role as a dynamic wetting agent for coatings and metal treatments underscores its versatility.

Beyond wetting, the nonionic nature and low-foaming properties of our acetylenic diol surfactant contribute to a more stable and efficient operational environment. By controlling foam, it prevents issues like pump cavitation and loss of lubrication effectiveness, ensuring that the MWF performs optimally throughout its service life. This is why such compounds are often considered key metalworking fluid additives.
