PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES:
· Excellent emulsifying and stabilizing properties.
· Does not effect water or oil repellency in fluorochemical finishes.
· Stabilizes water repellent emulsions with no effect on repellency.
· Effective wetting agent.
· Prevents pad roll build-up.
· Generates stable, uniform foam.
APPLICATION DATA:
Unifroth 0448 can be utilized as an effective foam-aid. Suggested starting range is 1-3% o.w.b. Testing and use data indicate that 2 % maximizes foam stability and uniformity.
Unifroth 0448 may be used to eliminate pad roll build-up. Under normal conditions, we recommend 0.1 to 0.5 % Unifroth 0448 o.w.b. This amount will eliminate pad roll build-up and emulsion instability and provide excellent wetting.
