SURFYNOL® 104 BC SURFACTANT is a Gemini wetting agent and molecular defoamer formulated to provide a unique combination of performance benefits. SURFYNOL® 104 BC 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 BC SURFACTANT can result in significantly reduced water sensitivity compared to either conventional ethoxylated or anionic surfactants.
Due to its multifunctional properties, SURFYNOL® 104 BC SURFACTANT can provide performance benefits in many waterborne applications such as coatings, paints, adhesives, inks, pigment manufacture and dispersion, cements, metalworking lubricants, agricultural chemicals, and dye processing. SURFYNOL® 104 BC SURFACTANT contains no added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs), silicones or fluoro surfactants.
