- Benefits
Defoaming agent and wetting agent is one product; Strong reduction of surface tension of aquous systems; Quick and low dynamic surface tension reducion; Low usage levels; Reduced pigment grinding time; Aids flow and leveling; Minimizes viscosity of concentrated aqueous polymer solutions, emulsions and dispersions; Lowest effect on film water sensitivity
- Use Levels
- 0.1% - 2%
- Appearance
- waxy like, white solids
- Properties
Compared to traditional surface active agents (incluing APE polyglycol ethers), PATADD SU 4 exhibits remarkable faster and stronger surface activity; moreover foam destroying instead of foam stabilization properties.
- Application
A series of unique nonionic surface active agents, which provide both wetting and defoaming in the same product. Available in Ethylene glycol, 2-Propanol, Propylene glycol, Bytyl Carbitol and 2-Methoxymethylethoxypropanol solvents.

- Addition and Dosage
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD SU 4 to be used is system and application related, but is typically in the range between 0.1% - 2% active matter by weight of the total formula. The optimum concentration to be used depends on the individual requirements and conditions and is advised to be determined experimentally
