Thetawet™ FS-8050
Thetawet™ FS-8050 is a water-soluble fluorosurfactant containing 50% active solids that significantly improves wetting and leveling and reduces surface tension in various industrial formulations. For applications requiring nonaqueous ingredients, we recommend Thetawet™ FS-8000, a 100% active solids version.

Overview
Thetawet™ FS-8050 is a 50% actives, aqueous solution of nonionic, short-chain fluorosurfactant technology. Designed for formulation flexibility and ease of use at low end-use concentrations, it delivers exceptional wetting, leveling, and surface-tension reduction for low-energy substrates, such as metal, glass, plastic, oily substrates, waxy surfaces, and more. It is compatible with all surfactant types and maintains stability across extreme-pH conditions and in the presence of concentrated acids, bases, oxidizing solutions, and hard and soft water. Thetawet™ FS-8050 is ideal for applications such as inks, coatings, adhesives, cleaners, and foam systems.
