Thetawet™ FS-8250

Thetawet™ FS-8250 is a high-performance surfactant containing short-chain fluorosurfactant technology designed to optimize wetting and leveling in water-based coating, paint, and adhesive formulations. With 28% active solids, this aqueous, anionic emulsion effectively lowers the surface tension of materials, enhancing film spreading, film formation, and block resistance on difficult to wet surfaces, such as including plastics, glass, metals, oily substrates, waxy surfaces, and fluoropolymer treated fabrics. Thetawet™ FS-8250 contributes a range of other benefits to formulations, including reduced foaming properties, enhanced gloss development, improved pigment wetting, extended open time, and resistance to soiling and weathering. Thetawet™ FS-8250 should be added to water-based systems at a level of 0.05% to 0.25% and to solvent based systems at a level of 0.25% to 0.75%.

For applications that require non-aqueous ingredients, we recommend Thetawet™ FS-8200 , a 100% solids, unnuetralized version of Thetawet™ FS-8250.
