Wetting penetrant WE 3111 is a product with several notable features and applications:

Product Characteristics:

Excellent Wetting Ability: It is a highly effective wetting agent. It can significantly reduce the surface tension of the liquid it is added to, enabling the liquid to spread quickly and evenly on various surfaces. This characteristic is crucial for ensuring that the penetrant can fully contact and wet the target surface, which is beneficial for subsequent processes such as adhesion, dispersion, and penetration.

Color Acceptance and Dispersing Properties: WE 3111 is designed to be used as a color acceptance and dispersing agent in base paints. It can enhance the tint strength of paints, making the color more vivid and uniform. This property is highly valuable in the paint and coating industry, where color quality and consistency are of great importance.

Freeze-Thaw Stability: The product offers excellent freeze-thaw stability. This means that even in environments with alternating freezing and thawing conditions, WE 3111 can maintain its performance and stability, ensuring that the quality of the treated materials is not affected.

PEO-Free: It is a PEO (polyethylene oxide) free product. This characteristic is beneficial in terms of environmental friendliness and compatibility with different formulations, as it reduces the potential environmental impact and provides more flexibility in formulating various products.

Applications:

Paint and Coating Industry: Widely used in the paint and coating field, it helps to improve the wetting and dispersing of pigments and fillers in paints, enhancing the overall quality and performance of the coatings. It can contribute to better adhesion, smoothness, and durability of the painted surfaces.

Printing Inks: In the printing ink industry, WE 3111 can be used to improve the wetting and dispersion of ink pigments, resulting in sharper and more vivid printing results. It can also enhance the stability and flowability of the ink, making the printing process more efficient.

Adhesives and Sealants: Can be added to adhesives and sealants to improve their wetting ability on the bonding surfaces, thereby enhancing the bonding strength and sealing performance. This is especially useful for bonding various materials with different surface properties.
