Thetawet™ FS-8020DB

Thetawet™ FS-8020DB by Innovative Chemical Technologies is a 30% active, water soluble, moderate foaming, anionic fluorosurfactant containing a low vapor pressure solvent. It acts as wetting and leveling agent. It is excellent for wetting difficult to wet surfaces (such as plastics, oily substrates, waxy surfaces) and for reduction in coating surface defects and enhanced gloss development for smoother, more even films in finishes & polishes. It partially replaces coalescent solvents for further VOC formulation reductions. It does not impart color or change the optical properties of the coating beyond potential gloss or DOI improvement from better reflectance. It shows exceptional stability and functionality in severe thermal & chemical environments, also stable even in highly acidic or basic environments and in hard water without chelation. It is ideal for use in VOC sensitive systems. It is used in industrial and architectural paints & coatings, floor finishes, sealers, automotive finishes & top coats, lacquers and polishes. It is based on short-chain fluorochemical technology which meets the goal of the US EPA 2010/2015 PFOA Stewardship Program. Recommended dosage level is 0.01-0.05%. Thetawet™ FS-8020DB has a shelf life of 12 months.
