SURFYNOL® SE Surfactant is a non-ionic, low-foam dynamic wetting agent based on Gemini surfactant technology. Depending on specific formulations, it can act as a highly effective wetting agent, defoamer, and viscosity stabilizer and often performs more than one of these functions simultaneously.
SURFYNOL® SE Surfactant forms a stable emulsion in water at concentrations up to 75% by volume. This means that the process of introducing SURFYNOL® SE Surfactant into aqueous systems is greatly simplified. In most cases, brief mixing is all that is required to achieve a fully emulsified state. SURFYNOL® SE Surfactant is miscible at 50% in acetone, xylene, kerosene, perchloroethylene, isopropanol, Butyl Cellosolve solvent, propylene glycol, and Soltrol No. 145 paraffin.
