Formulating with specialty surfactants like ethoxylated acetylenic diols requires a nuanced understanding of their properties and optimal incorporation methods. These powerful wetting agents can significantly enhance product performance, but proper handling and addition are key to unlocking their full potential. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides essential guidance for formulators looking to leverage the benefits of these advanced surfactants.

When incorporating ethoxylated acetylenic diols into your formulations, consider their addition point. While they can often be added directly as supplied, some formulators find predilution beneficial, especially for ensuring uniform dispersion within the system. For water-based coatings, inks, and adhesives, it is often recommended to add these wetting agents during the let-down stage. This stage allows for thorough mixing without the high shear rates that could potentially lead to unwanted foam generation. This precise method ensures that the surfactant's surface tension reduction capabilities are effectively utilized.

Understanding the recommended use levels is also critical. Typical usage for these ethoxylated diols ranges from 0.1% to 1.0% of the total formulation weight. However, it is always advisable to conduct thorough testing to determine the optimal concentration for your specific application and substrate. Factors such as the substrate's surface energy, the presence of contaminants, and the desired level of wetting all influence the ideal dosage. When you plan to buy these materials, consult with a knowledgeable supplier who can offer formulation support.
