Surfynol® 485 W is a low-viscosity dynamic wetting agent for use in a wide variety of applications including waterborne coatings, inks, adhesives, agricultural chemicals, and numerous industrial specialty applications. It is a high active liquid that contains no added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs) or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Surfynol® 485 W surfactant complies with several regulations needed for applications requiring food contact compliances in the US, Europe and Asia.
Typical Applications
- Waterborne industrial coatings
