1. Basic Information and Core Positioning

• Product Name: GEROPON L-WET/MAX
• Product Category: New-generation high-efficiency low-foam wetting agent
• Core Positioning: A new-type low-foam wetting agent with innovative molecular design. By precisely regulating surface-active groups and hydrophobic chain structures, it achieves extreme foam inhibition while significantly enhancing the spreading efficiency of liquids on solid surfaces. It is suitable for scenarios requiring zero tolerance for foam and high-efficiency wetting, such as high-shear pesticide formulation production, precision cleaning, and high-pressure spray processes—balancing operational convenience with maximized performance.

2. Key Performance and Technical Features

1. Ultra-Low Foam Properties: Foam height ≤5mm (measured by Ross-Miles foam tester, 0.5% aqueous solution at 25℃), with residual foam ≤1mm after 5 minutes—far superior to conventional low-foam wetting agents (typically foam height ≥10mm, residual ≥5mm). It completely eliminates issues like foam overflow during production, filling errors, or foam blocking targets during spraying, making it particularly suitable for high-shear stirring (≥3000 rpm) or high-pressure spray systems.
2. Superior Wetting Efficiency: Reduces the surface tension of water from 72mN/m to 28–32mN/m at room temperature (25℃), increasing the spreading speed of liquids on surfaces (e.g., crop leaves, metals, plastics, glass) by over 50% with a contact angle ≤25° (traditional low-foam wetting agents typically have a contact angle ≥30°). It can quickly penetrate dense surfaces (e.g., plant waxy layers, oil films), improving pesticide adhesion or cleaning efficiency.
3. Broad Adaptability and Stability: Compatible with water, organic solvents (ethanol, propylene glycol ether), and various system components (pesticide active ingredients, pigments, metal ion cleaning agents). It remains stable across pH 3–10 and a wide temperature range (-10℃ to 60℃), with a performance attenuation rate ≤3% after long-term storage (≥24 months). It also exhibits excellent tolerance to hard water (calcium/magnesium ion concentration ≤1500ppm) without precipitation or delamination.
4. Low Dosage and Synergistic Effects: The recommended dosage is only 0.05%–0.5% of the total system mass (adjusted based on specific scenarios), 30%–50% lower than similar products. It shows no antagonism when compounded with dispersants or emulsifiers and even enhances the interfacial activity of other additives, indirectly improving overall formulation performance.

3. Main Application Fields

• Pesticide Formulations: Primarily used in suspension concentrates (SC), emulsion in water (EW), and microemulsions (ME), especially suitable for high-concentration, high-shear production processes (e.g., 50% imidacloprid SC). It reduces foam interference while enhancing the spreading and penetration of pesticide solutions on crop surfaces, minimizing runoff and improving efficacy utilization.
• Industrial Precision Cleaning: Applicable to cleaning high-precision products such as electronic components and optical lenses. Ultra-low foam prevents foam accumulation in cleaning tanks from affecting rinsing, while superior wetting ability ensures cleaning agents penetrate tiny gaps to remove oil, fingerprints, and other contaminants.
• Coatings and Inks: Acts as a wetting adjuvant to improve the dispersion of pigments (e.g., titanium dioxide, carbon black) in binders, reducing stirring foam and enhancing coating leveling and adhesion—ideal for high-gloss coating systems.

4. Usage and Storage Specifications

• Recommended Dosage: Usually 0.1%–0.3% in pesticide formulations, 0.05%–0.2% in precision cleaning, and 0.08%–0.5% in coatings/inks. Small-scale tests are recommended to determine the optimal ratio.
• Usage Method: Can be directly added to the system and uniformly dispersed after moderate stirring (800–1500 rpm) for 3–5 minutes, eliminating the need for additional heating or high-shear treatment, thus simplifying operational processes.
• Packaging Specifications: Packaged in sealed containers, such as 25kg HDPE plastic buckets and 200kg iron buckets lined with inert materials, meeting chemical product transportation standards.
• Storage Conditions: Store in a cool and dry place (5–35℃), avoiding direct sunlight, high temperatures, or freezing. Keep away from strong oxidants. The shelf life is typically 24 months in a sealed state.
