Surfactants are a type of chemical substance that can reduce surface tension at the liquid interface and alter the dispersion, wettability, and emulsification of liquids. They are composed of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups and can form an adsorption layer at the liquid gas or liquid liquid interface. According to the relative positions of hydrophilic and…
Polyether defoamer is a common surfactant, which is mainly used to reduce or eliminate foam in liquid system. Foam is formed by bubbles on the liquid interface, which will interfere with industrial processes or affect product quality. Therefore, defoamers are needed to control the generation and stability of foam. Polyether defoamers are typically non ionic…
Acetyl chloride is an organic compound with the following properties: Physical properties: Acetyl chloride is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a pungent odor at room temperature. It has a lower boiling point (51 ° C) and a vapor pressure higher than room temperature, so it quickly evaporates. Chemical properties: Acetyl chloride is a…
Printing and dyeing auxiliaries are a widely used chemical in the textile printing and dyeing process, used to improve the solubility, dyeing performance, and color stability of dyes.

Scale inhibitors are generally not classified as hazardous chemicals, but their safety and danger need to be evaluated based on their specific composition and concentration. Scale inhibitor is a chemical additive used to prevent the formation and deposition of scale in water systems. They usually contain inorganic salts, organic compounds, or polymers, which can effectively…
Scale remover and scale inhibitor are two different chemical additives that differ in application and function. Descaler: Descaler is mainly used to remove scale or sediment that has already formed in the water system. Scale is a hard deposit formed by the crystallization of inorganic salts, carbonates, oxides, etc. dissolved in water on the surface…
