Application

1. Wetting & Penetration

Emulsifier E1300 series, E1000 series, Penetrating agent

Reduces the surface tension of treatment solutions, enhancing the wetting properties of pickling, cleaning, or phosphating solutions on metal surfaces.

Facilitates solution penetration into micro-pores, weld seams, and complex structural surfaces, ensuring uniform cleaning or activation of metal surfaces. This improves the uniformity and adhesion of subsequent processes such as plating or coating.

2. Emulsification & Degreasing

PEG, Polyethylene Glycol Oleate, Polyethylene Glycol Laurate, Emulsifier OP Series

Emulsify and disperse grease, cutting fluid residues, lubricants, or machining oils from metal surfaces prior to acid or alkaline cleaning.

Prevent oil contamination from covering metal surfaces, ensuring acid or phosphating solutions directly act on the metal surface to enhance cleaning and activation efficiency.

3. Dispersion & Anti-Re-deposition

Propylene glycol block polyether, PEG, Polyethylene Glycol Oleate

Oxides or iron filings stripped during processing readily re-deposit, compromising surface quality.

These polyether compounds and nonionic emulsifiers maintain particle suspension, preventing re-deposition to achieve uniform, smooth surfaces.

4. Process Stability & Efficiency

The synergistic action of these additives reduces foaming, improves liquid flow and stability, and enhances the controllability of pickling, degreasing, or phosphating processes.

They increase the reusability of metal surface treatment solutions, reducing chemical consumption and environmental impact.
