DeIONIC™ LF-60

1 of 8 products in this brand
DeIONIC™ LF-60 is a low-foaming, low HLB nonionic alkoxylated alcohol with excellent wetting and dispersing properties. It can achieve a dynamic surface tension of less than 30 dynes/cm² with a 0.1% concentration in water. DeIONIC™ LF-60 is soluble in water below 14°C, alcohols, glycols, and most solvents, while being dispersible in water above 18°C and insoluble in most oils.

Technical Details & Test Data

Surface Tension Properties Of Deionic LF-60
  •  The dynamic surface tension of DeIONIC LF-60 was determined at 0.1% by weight in distilled water using a SensaDyne QC6000 Tensiometer.
  • The graph below compares our low HLB wetting agents to two acetylenic diols which are commonly used as low foaming wetting agents.
