【Usage】
Manufacturing Latex Paint: TRITON®CF-10 is a general-purpose wetting agent for latex paint manufacturing. It yields the most benefit from its low-foaming characteristics at temperatures of 100℉ (37.8℃) or higher, which are commonly reached during high-speed pigment dispersion.
In most paint formulations, a dosage of 0.1-0.3% TRITON®CF-10 is sufficient. TRITON®CF-10 acts as a wetting agent when used in conjunction with "Tamol" 731 (25%) pigment dispersant. This mixture demonstrates maximum efficiency with a minimal dosage, showcasing a synergistic effect.
To enhance the water resistance of the coating film, avoid using excessive amounts of TRITON® CF-10 or any other wetting agent.
