Thetawet™ FS-8235

Thetawet™ FS-8235 by Innovative Chemical Technologies is a water dispersible, low foaming anionic fluorosurfactant which is effective at low end use concentrations. It offers excellent wetting and leveling benefits which improves wetting of difficult to wet surfaces such as plastics, oily substrates, waxy surfaces. It orients and concentrates at all liquid interfaces, imparting block resistance, release properties, improved weatherability, soil resistance and improved open time. It is suitable for reduction in coating surface defects. It does not impart color or change the optical properties of the coating. It is used in industrial and architectural paints & coatings, high solids 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 0.04-0.20% for leveling, gloss development and foam control in water-based systems and 0.20-0.60% in neat and solvent-based systems. Thetawet™ FS-8235 has a shelf life of 12 months.
