JC-660 (CAS No. 9038-95-3) is a polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene monobutyl ether.
In plain English: it’s a specialty additive that improves emulsification, defoaming, and lubrication in tough industrial processes.
It dissolves easily in water, ethanol, and most organic solvents.
That means no complicated pre-treatment, no hassle.
When I first saw JC-660 in action at a machining line, the difference was obvious.
Tools ran smoother.
Less friction, less noise.
And at the end of the shift, the cutting tools had far less wear.
Here’s what makes it tick:
Lubrication: Forms a protective film to reduce wear and friction.
Emulsification: Keeps water and oil phases stable, so machining stays consistent.
Defoaming: Quickly knocks out bubbles that mess with production.
Cooling + rust protection: Transfers heat away fast and prevents corrosion.
Cloud point: 55.0–59.0℃
Viscosity (25℃, mPa·s): 200–260
Moisture: ≤ 0.50%
Appearance: Colorless to light yellow liquid
The beauty of JC-660 is its versatility.
It works across industries:
Metal processing: Milling, drilling, stamping, drawing
Coatings: Improves film uniformity
Inks: Enhances print flow
Adhesives: Boosts adhesion stability
Personal care formulations: Improves compatibility in blends
