- Product Highlights
- Short-Chain Fluorochemical Technology (meets the goal of the US EPA 2010/2015 PFOA Stewardship Program)
- VOC-free, 28% active water-dispersible anionic fluorosurfactant effective at low end-use concentrations
- Powerful low foam wetting and leveling performance for smoother, defect-free coatings
- Does not impart color, or change the optical properties of a coating (beyond potential gloss or DOI - distinctness of image - improvement from higher reflectance)
- Partially replaces coalescent solvents for further VOC formulation reductions
- Orients and concentrates at all liquid interfaces, imparting block resistance, release properties, improved weatherability and soil resistance, and improved open time
- Reduces foaming tendency in paints and coatings, waxes and adhesives
- Readily dilutes in water/alcohol/glycol mixtures with excellent shelf stability

- Application Information
- Thetawet FS-8250 is dispersible in water, and readily soluble in a range of polar organic solvents such as glycol ethers, alcohols, ketones, acetone and ethyl acetate.
- Sensitive to hard water, dilution with deionized or softened water is recommended.
- Recommended use concentrations vary for Thetawet FS-8250 with application, but in general, 0.05-0.25% is recommended for leveling, gloss development and foam control in water based systems, and 0.25-0.75% in neat or solvent based systems.
- Thetawet FS-8250 is stable as delivered, however for long-term storage of stock solutions, use of a preservative such as Proxel GXL, Nipacide BIT 20 or VeriGuard 19S is recommended, as determined by the formulator.
