Air Products’ Surfynol additives are the single product line that can help solve your multiple formulation problems. Unlike competitive products, Surfynol additives provide a unique combination of wetting and low-foaming properties. These multifunctional products are particularly effective in waterborne formulations and in many cases provide an all-in-one solution.
For graphic arts applications, the Surfynol additives series includes low-foaming wetting agents, defoamers and pigment grind aids and dispersants. Surfynol additives are available in an assortment of grades that meet a broad range of FDA requirements for direct and indirect food contact. A selection of solvent-free additives is also offered to help address volatile organic compound (VOC) compliance issues.
It all starts with Air Products.
