SURFYNOL® 104 A is a Gemini wetting agent and molecular defoamer with a unique chemical structure which allows this product to provide multifunctional properties such as surface tension reduction, foam control, and viscosity stabilization. The hydrophobic nature can result in significantly reduced water sensitivity compared to either conventional ethoxylated or anionic surfactants. SURFYNOL® 104 A contains no added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs), silicones or fluorosurfactants.
