Data sheets
WETSOFT® CTA can be applied as an aqueous dilution by padding as well as by the exhaust process.
10 - 20g/l WETSOFT® CTA are recommended for the padding application.
WETSOFT® CTA can easily be processed into stable emulsions. To do so, just mix WETSOFT® CTA with acetic acid and then stir with water. After mixing for about ten minutes, a milky emulsion is obtained. For easier incorporation of water and better stability of the end product, co-emulsifiers, e.g. diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, or glycerol, can be used.
Typical emulsion recipe:
- 20.0 parts WETSOFT® CTA
- 0.5 parts glacial acetic acid
- 7.0 parts diethylene glycol monobutylether
Mix these components homogeneously. Stir in 72.5 parts of water to obtain a stable microemulsion.
Packaging
WETSOFT® CTA is available in
- 200 kg drum
- 950 kg IBC
Storage
