Capstone™ FS-3100 is a 100% solids nonionic fluorosurfactant. It is used as a wetting and leveling aid in water-based, solvent-based, and 100% solids coating, ink, and paint formulations.
Capstone™ FS-3100 is an APEO and VOC free fluorosurfactant that is used at very low rates (0.01-0.1% active ingredient) to greatly reduce the surface tension of a formulation. This reduction in surface tension leads to improved wetting, leveling, and spreading of the formulation. Capstone™ FS-3100 is 100% solids and can be used in water-based, solvent-based, and reactive systems. Capstone™ FS-3100 is stable in both acidic and alkaline pH and since it is nonionic it is compatible with resins and additives of any ionic class making it easy to formulate into a variety of systems. Capstone™ FS-3100 is a particularly effective additive to solvent based paints and coatings, as well as organic polymers.

In coatings, inks, and paints Capstone™ FS-3100 improves wetting and leveling which leads to a reduction of surface defects like pinholes, cratering, and orange peel.
Capstone™ FS-3100 is used in cleaning solutions to improve wetting of soils and increase the overall performance of the cleaner. Typical use rates are between 0.01-0.1% actives within the formulation.
Small amounts of Capstone™ FS-3100, typically 0.01-0.05% actives, can be added to water-based floor care products like waxes and polishes to improve surface wetting, reduce surface defects, and improve re-wet characteristics for multi-coat applications.
Capstone® fluorosurfactants & fluororepellents were some of the first short-chain alternatives commercialized so Chemours has lots of experience helping their customers reformulate.
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.
