Thetawet™ FS-8250

Thetawet™ FS-8250 by Innovative Chemical Technologies is a VOC-free, anionic fluorosurfactant which provides anti-blocking in paints, particularly elevated temperature block resistance. It is 28% active, water dispersible, very low foaming product.

• It offers excellent wetting and leveling benefits which improves pigment wetting and wetting of hard to wet surfaces.
• It extends open time of typical latex paint upto 2X and helps hide brush marks.
• It does not impart color or change the optical properties of the coating.
• It partially replaces coalescent solvents for further VOC formulation reductions.
• It orients and concentrates at all liquid interfaces, imparting release properties, improved weatherability, soil resistance and improved open time.
• It is ideal for use in VOC sensitive systems.
• 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 0.05-0.25% for leveling, gloss development and foam control in water-based systems and 0.25-0.75% in neat and solvent-based systems.
• Thetawet™ FS-8250 has a shelf life of 3 years.
