Overview
Thetawet™ FS-8225 is a short chain fluorosurfactant that enhances wetting and leveling in waterborne and solvent based coatings, adhesives, paints and waxes. As a 14% solids aqueous emulsion, it effectively provides block resistance, reduced foaming, gloss development, and more. It forms a tough, durable film resistant to harsh operational and environmental conditions, protecting surfaces from abrasions, soiling, and weathering without affecting the overall color or optical properties of surfaces. In coatings, its powerful leveling performance allows for a superior, defect free surface devoid of fisheyes, pin holes, craters, and other visual defects. Thetawet™ FS-8225 can be used at a level of 0.1 to 0.5% in water-based systems and a level of 0.25 to 0.75% in neat or solvent based systems.
