Polymerization Additives

This product provides far greater surface tension reduction than can be achieved with either hydrocarbon or silicone-based surfactants. When used in conjunction with conventional hydrocarbon surfactants, it is possible to achieve a system that not only dramatically reduces surface tension but also lowers interfacial tension, resulting in a liquid that easily wets and spreads on otherwise hard-to-wet surfaces.

This product is an excellent choice for enhancing wetting on challenging surfaces like plastics, oily substrates, and waxy materials. It also reduces surface defects and improves gloss, weather resistance, and soil resistance in coatings. Additionally, it provides benefits such as block resistance, mold release, and extended open time, making it suitable for high-solids coatings and floor finishes.
