Product name: Surflon S-232
Attributes/comments: Surflon S-232 is an amphoteric fluorosurfactant used in water-based paint, emulsion penetrant, cleaners and waxes applications. Surflon has a low surface tension, and when added to other substances, even in small amounts, it can significantly improve wetting and penetration properties, where hydrocarbon or silicone surfactants may fail.

Product name: Surflon S-233
Attributes/comments: Surflon S-233 is an amphoteric fluorosurfactant used in floor polish applications. Under strong alkaline conditions, Surflon S-233 can significantly reduce the surface tension of the solution. When added to other substances Surflon can impart good wettability, permeability and leveling characteristics at low dosage rates, which can reduce usage costs.

Product name: Strodex PK-85NV
Attributes/comments: Strodex PK-85NV is the newest addition to Strodex line of performance-enhancing phosphate ester surfactants from Ashland. Typically added at < 0.5% (w/w), this neutralized (K-salt) APEO- free, coester can deliver improved gloss with enhanced paint stability and color properties while contributing virtually Zero-VOC to waterbased paints and coatings.

Product name: Dextrol OC-60EP
Attributes/comments: Dextrol OC-60EP is a very low CMC, new anionic surfactant. When used in polymerization of latex resin, it has been shown to preclude water sensitivity issues, especially compared alternative anionics such as sulfates and sulfonates.
In addition, application testing in a pure acrylic, 60 PVC model paint system, the emulsion produced with EP-series surfactants demonstrated higher gloss, enhanced flow & leveling and ultimately better resistance to dirt pickup.

Product name: SURFYNOL 107 L
Attributes/comments: SURFYNOL 107 L is a liquid, non-ionic wetting agent and molecular defoamer based on high-performance Gemini surfactant chemistry. As a result, it offers a range surface active performance benefits and is particularly suitable for use in aqueous systems. SURFYNOL 107 L provides efficient dynamic surface tension reduction and wetting benefits in both low speed and dynamic applications. It also provides defect-free defoaming and deaerating benefits. SURFYNOL 107 L contains no APEs, silicones, silicas, or fluorosurfactants and is suitable for the most crater-sensitive low- to zero-VOC coatings and inks formulations.

Product name: DYNOL 960 / 980
Attributes/comments: The DYNOL 900-series surfactants are superwetting surfactants based on unique siloxane chemistries. Offering superior equilibrium and dynamic surface tension reduction, DYNOL 960 and 980 play a critical role in achieving high-quality coatings under certain application techniques such as air-assisted or airless spray applied coatings and inkjet inks. DYNOL 960 provides exceptional performance in waterborne plastic coatings and inks, while DYNOL 980 provides great performance in waterborne wood coatings and overprint varnishes. They also provide good flow and leveling under diverse application conditions.
