Surfynol® 104BC

Surfynol® 104BC by Evonik is a non-ionic dynamic wetting agent, surfactant and molecular defoamer. The hydrophobic nature of this product can result in significantly reduced water sensitivity compared to either conventional ethoxylated or anionic surfactants. It offers improved flow, surface tension reduction, foam control and viscosity stabilization. It is used in water-borne carpet-backing adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesives. Surfynol® 104BC contains no added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs), silicones or fluorosurfactants. It has the ability to wet contaminated substrates. It prevents surface defect problems such as fish-eyes, crawling, and cratering on low energy substrates. It has a shelf life of 60 months. Recommended use level lies between 0.1 to 1.5% of total formulation weight.
