Thetawet™ FS-8200

Thetawet™ FS-8200 by Innovative Chemical Technologies is a solvent-free, 100% active, concentrated anionic fluorosurfactant ideal for use in water-sensitive systems, 100% solids or high solids application. It acts as excellent wetting and leveling agent for wetting of difficult to wet surfaces (plastics, oily substrates, waxy surfaces), for reduction in coating surface defects, enhanced gloss development, improved weatherability and soil resistance. Surface diffusion properties impart block resistance, mold release and improved open-time. Exhibits resistance to UV degradation for interior or exterior applications and reduces foaming tendency. 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 of Thetawet™ FS-8200 is 100-200 ppm for leveling, gloss development and foam control in coatings, and up to 2000 ppm for release, anti-block and anti-soiling surface modification in solvent-based coating applications. It has a shelf life of 12 months.
