Wetting agent for better slurry adhesion to wax
Victawet 12 is a non-ionic, low-foaming organic phosphate ester. You use it as a wetting agent in ceramic shell slurries, with both acidic and alkaline binders. Victawet 12 helps the slurry adhere better to the wax surface. It is a 100% active liquid with a specific gravity of 1.12.
Key benefits
- Better wax adhesion: the slurry wets the wax pattern evenly.
- Versatile: works in acidic and alkaline binders.
- Low foam: non-ionic and low-foaming.
- Low dosage: normally below 0.75% by volume.
Typical applications
- ✓ Primary slurries for ceramic shell
- ✓ Investment casting and art casting
- ✓ Slurries based on colloidal silica
Processing
- Before use, measure the pH of a 0.5% solution of Victawet 12.
- Add 0.25% by volume to primary slurries, based on the total binder liquid (binder plus concentrate plus any dilution water).
- Check that the slurry wets the wax parts properly. If not, add more in 0.05% increments until wetting is satisfactory.
- Normally stay below 0.75% by volume.
- Always use Victawet 12 together with an effective anti-foam, such as Burst 100.
Points to note
- ✓ Victawet 12 hydrolyses over time, producing an acid.
- ✓ Do not add it to alkaline colloidal silica if the pH of the 0.5% solution has dropped below approx. 3.0 to 3.5. It is still safe to use with LUDOX SK grades.
- ✓ Causes serious eye irritation. Wear eye protection and protective clothing.
- ✓ This product is intended for the business market. For larger quantities or custom requirements, email info@siliconesandmore.com.
