Versatile Surfynol and Dynol Surfactants - to make formulator's lives much easier Multifunctional Problem Solvers - Gemini chemistry provides a unique combination of performance benefits in your application A New-Generation Surfactant - Dynol 604 for high-performance waterborne applications EnviroGem AE Surfactants - Readily Biodegradable, Low Foam Wetting Agents Applications - Whatever you need to formulate - we have the right solution More Than Just Products - Outstanding technical support from the people who understand surfactant applications Multifunctional Problem Solvers Surfynol surfactants are a range of non-ionic Gemini surfactants based on acetylenic diol chemistry. Gemini surfactants contain two hydrophiles and at least two hydrophobes within a single molecule and are more surface-active than their single hydrophile/single hydrophobe analogs. Surfynol surfactants can be used to solve numerous common formulating problems and provide a unique combination of performance benefits in various end use applications. Surfynol 104 surfactant, the core product of this line, has a unique chemical structure that provides multifunctional properties such as surface tension reduction and foam control. In addition to Surfynol 104, other members of the Surfynol surfactant family include the ethoxylated Surfynol 400 series, ethoxylated/propoxylated products such as Surfynol 2502 and many other formulated products that are designed to meet specific needs. Depending upon the formulation, certain Surfynol surfactants can offer a combination of benefits, including wetting, dispersancy and defoaming with minimal effect on water sensitivity. A New-Generation Surfactant Dynol 604 surfactant is a revolutionary, nonionic wetting agent that is ideal for high-performance waterborne applications. It has the unique ability to reduce both equilibrium and dynamic surface tension to a degree not found with other surfactant chemistries. An outstanding balance of properties makes it an excellent alternative for difficult-to-wet substrates requiring good flow and levelling under diverse application conditions. Also, the use of acetylenic glycol-based Dynol 604 surfactant will reduce or eliminate problems such as increased foaminess, water sensitivity, or intercoat adhesion often associated with other additive classes. EnviroGem AE Surfactants - Readily Biodegradable, Low Foam Wetting Agents The EnviroGem AE range of surfactants are the latest low-foam wetting agents to be introduced by Air Products. These unique additives are 100% active low-viscosity liquids based on non-ionic Gemini surfactant technology. They show excellent dynamic surface tension reduction and outstanding foam control. All three products in the EnviroGem AE range are classed as 'readily biodegradable' according to OECD test guidelines. These surfactants are APE-free and also exhibit low to moderate toxicity towards aquatic organisms Applications Surfynol and EnviroGem AE surfactants find use in many diverse applications, including paints and coatings, adhesives, inks, dye manufacture and processing, paper coatings, pigment manufacture and dispersion, fountain solutions, agricultural chemicals, latex dipping, industrial and household cleaners, textiles, cements, metalworking fluids and oil field chemicals.
