Jadechem New Release - Meet metal processing additive JC-660

2025/09/10

What is JC-660?

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.


Why JC-660 stands out

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.


Technical snapshot (for engineers who want numbers)

  • Cloud point: 55.0–59.0℃

  • Viscosity (25℃, mPa·s): 200–260

  • Moisture: ≤ 0.50%

  • Appearance: Colorless to light yellow liquid


Where can you use JC-660?

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
