SURFYNOL® 104 DPM surfactant is a Gemini wetting agent and molecular defoamer formulated to provide a unique combination of performance benefits. SURFYNOL® 104 DPM surfactant’s unique chemical structure allows this product to provide multifunctional properties such as surface tension reduction, foam control, and viscosity stabilization.
The hydrophobic nature of SURFYNOL® 104 DPM surfactant can result in significantly reduced water sensitivity compared to either conventional ethoxylated or anionic surfactants. Due to its multifunctional properties, SURFYNOL® 104 DPM surfactant can provide performance benefits in many waterborne applications such as coatings, paints, adhesives, inks, pigment manufacture and dispersion, and dye processing.
SURFYNOL® 104 DPM surfactant contains no added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs), silicones or fluorosurfactants.
