Benefits & Uses
Excellent static and dynamic substrate wetting
Good anti-foam effect
For printing inks and OPV
Performance in Water-based Emulsion Resin
Surface tension value

This table shows the surface tension value of emulsion resin that was incorporated with JEBCHEM 5604, JebChem 5204, and competitor versus blank. JEBCHEM 5604 shows the BEST surface tension reduction. It can reduce surface tension value better than JebChem 5204 and competitor.

Wetting performance on WAX coated paper

This illustration shows dynamic wetting performance that was evaluated by applying wet paint on wax and silicone coated substrate. Test method used wax paper as difficult substrate to coat with water due to the high contact angle. It was observed that JebChem 5604 provided the BEST wettability on wax paper compared to the competitor and other JebChem substrate wetting additive.
