CARBOWET® GA-100 surfactant is an optimized combination of non-ionic additives designed to provide multifunctional wetting, stabilization, and compatibilization benefits in a wide range of aqueous formulations. It offers superior low-foam pigment wetting and milling efficiency benefits without the water sensitivity, foam, and rheology problems that are associated with APE surfactants.
The performance characteristics of CARBOWET® GA-100 surfactant extend to a wide range of applications and formulations in which the combination of dynamic wetting and the compatibilization and stabilization can provide unique benefits. Furthermore, it contains no added APEs or solvents, and is an easy-to-incorporate liquid additive. CARBOWET® GA-100 surfactant offers the best performance in architectural paint millbases.
