DYNOL™ 960

DYNOL™ 960 superwetting surfactant is an optimized siloxane-based surfactant providing excellent equilibrium and dynamic surface tension reduction in a wide range of aqueous formulations. Designed to provide superwetting on difficult to wet substrates, it offers superior substrate wetting with extremely low foam. The characteristics of DYNOL™ 960 surfactant enable exceptional performance in waterborne plastic coatings and printing inks. DYNOL™ 960 surfactant can also provide good flow and leveling under diverse application conditions.
