Surfynol® AS 5000 is a Gemini wetting agent and molecular defoamer formulated to provide a unique combination of performance benefits. Surfynol® AS 5000 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® AS 5000 can result in significantly reduced water sensitivity compared to either conventional ethoxylated or anionic surfactants.
Due to its multifunctional properties, Surfynol® AS 5000 can provide performance benefits in many waterborne applications such as adhesives, pigment manufacture and dispersions. Surfynol® AS 5000 contains no added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs), silicones or fluorosurfactants.
