Nestogen 5 Star | High Performance Wetting and emulsifying Agent

  • Product Information

    Nestogen  5 Star is high performance wetting agent cum detergent having high efficiency in emulsification of oil and waxes.

  • Key Features & Benefits

    1. High Efficiency in Emulsification of Oils and Waxes:

    • Nestogen 5 Star demonstrates remarkable efficacy in breaking down and emulsifying oils and waxes, making it particularly effective in industrial processes where the removal of these substances is crucial.

    2. Good Detergency for Cotton and Synthetic-Fiber Textiles:

    • Its exceptional detergency properties extend to various textile materials, including cotton, rayon, and other synthetic fibers, ensuring thorough and effective cleaning across diverse fabric types.

    3. Effective Wetting Properties:

    • The formulation excels in reducing surface tension, providing efficient wetting properties. This is essential for ensuring uniform coverage and penetration of the substrate, enhancing the overall cleaning process.

    4. Excellent Rinsability:

    • Nestogen 5 Star boasts excellent rinsability, facilitating the easy and complete removal of the detergent residue after the cleaning process. This is crucial in maintaining the quality and integrity of treated materials.

    5. Good Dispersing Properties:

    • The detergent exhibits good dispersing properties, enabling the uniform distribution of particles and preventing the re-deposition of soil on cleaned surfaces.

    6. Outstanding Stability to Alkali and Caustic:

    • Its stability in alkaline environments, including exposure to caustic substances, ensures consistent performance and longevity in applications where such conditions are prevalent.

    7. Synergism with Sequesterants in the Control of Metal Ions:

    • Nestogen 5 Star showcases synergistic effects when used with sequesterants, providing effective control over metal ions, particularly iron and other metals. This feature is valuable in preventing undesirable reactions and maintaining process efficiency.

    8. Rust Inhibition:

    • The wetting agent cum detergent also exhibits rust inhibition properties, offering protection against corrosion on metal surfaces. This is a crucial aspect, especially in industrial settings where metal equipment is prevalent.
  • Application

    In the continuous processing the dwell time of fabric in the bath is very short and hence high wetting to ensure uniform and fast pick up of bath liquor. 
    Nestogen 5 Star a specially designed wetting agent which ensures fast wetting of the fabric in continuous preparation and yield good absorbency and whiteness.
