1.Product Property
Flower-Foam Penetrant is a pale-yellow to creamy oil or paste that dissolves readily in water, yielding a clear solution. It shows excellent wetting power (≤ 5 s sinking time at 1 %) and retains full activity above 100 °C. The product is stable to strong acids, alkalis and oxidants, and generates minimal foam during use.

1. Application Scope and Usage
Used in textile pretreatment and dyeing (desizing, scouring, bleaching, carbonizing, printing, dyeing) to secure rapid liquor penetration at elevated temperatures. In leather processing it acts as a penetrant and degreaser, removing natural oils without harsh solvents. It is also applied in agriculture to improve seed germination and to enhance pesticide uptake.
4.Package and Storage
Supplied in 200 kg epoxy-lined steel drums or 50 kg HDPE drums with sealed screw caps. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse at 5–35 °C, away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizers. Shelf life is 24 months from manufacture when kept in original, unopened containers.
