Surfynol® 104A

Surfynol® 104A by Evonik is a non-ionic dynamic wetting agent, surfactant and molecular defoamer. It offers improved flow, surface tension reduction, foam control and viscosity stabilization. The hydrophobic nature of this grade can result in significantly reduced water sensitivity compared to either conventional ethoxylated or anionic surfactants. It is used in water-borne carpet-backing adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesives. It contains no added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs), silicones or fluorosurfactants. Surfynol® 104A has the ability to wet contaminated substrates. It prevents surface defect problems such as fisheyes, crawling and cratering on low energy substrates. It has a shelf life of 60 months. Recommended use level lies between 0.1 to 1.0% of total formulation weight.
