Product Description
As of early 2025, Chemours Capstone™ has been discontinued, and ChemPoint is committed to helping customers find alternatives. We offer Momentive CoatOSil™ and Silquest™, silicone-based surface-modifying additives, and ICT Thetawet™, Thetaguard™, and Thetapel™ fluorosurfactants and fluoropolymers. Contact us, and one of our technical experts will assist you in finding the closest option for your formulation.
Capstone™ fluorosurfactants enhance formulations by substantially reducing surface tension, and by improving properties such as wetting and spreading, leveling, penetrating, foaming control, chemical stability and thermal stability. They work well in harsh chemical and thermal conditions and can also help reduce the amount and number of other additives in formulations, reducing complexity while creating higher performing products. They perform at very low concentrations, allowing for the development of concentrates that can be diluted as much as 100:1.

Chemours Capstone® LCPFAC & SNUR Regulations
Capstone® fluorosurfactants & fluororepellents were some of the first short-chain alternatives commercialized so Chemours has lots of experience helping their customers reformulate.
Chemours Zonyl® To Capstone™
Capstone™ fluorosurfactants and repellents were introduced as sustainable replacements that meet the goals of the U.S. EPA 2010/15 PFOA Stewardship Program. They are based on short-chain molecules that cannot break down to PFOA or PFOS in the environment.
