Overview
Thetawet™ FS-8150 is a fluorosurfactant that provides exceptional surface tension reduction in various industrial formulations applied to difficult-to-wet surfaces, such as metal, glass, plastic, oily substrates, waxy surfaces, and fluoropolymer-treated surfaces. Containing 25% active solids and low-VOCs, this fluorosurfactant is ideal for use in systems that are constrained by VOC thresholds. It is a versatile and easy-to-use formulation additive compatible with all surfactant types with stability across extreme pH conditions and in the presence of concentrated acids, bases, oxidizing solutions, and hard or soft water. Thetawet™ FS-8150 is recommended for use in formulations at a level of 0.25%, providing a low foaming, low viscosity aqueous solution.
