Novec™ Fluorosurfactants
|
|
3M™ Novec™ Fluorosurfactants are non-ionic polymeric fluorochemical surfactants that belong to a class of coating additives which provide low surface tensions in organic or aqueous coating systems that are best obtainable with fluorochemicals.
Novec™ fluorosurfactants are soluble and compatible with most polymers and continue to be active throughout the drying or curing process. When used in waterborne polymer systems, Novec™ fluorosurfactants help reduce the aqueous / organic interfacial tension and remain surface active in the organic portion of the polymer system.

Benefits
|
- Reduces interfacial surface tension
- Fluorosurfactant effective at addition levels 0.1 – 0.5%
- Efficiency allows for extremely low addition levels and surface tensions only achievable with a fluorosurfactant
|
Applications
3M™ Novec™ Fluorosurfactants find use as wetting, levelling and flow control agents in varied applications like waterborne, solvent-borne, high-solids and radiation curable organic polymer coating systems.
