SURFYNOL® 104 E

Product Description (Web)
SURFYNOL® 104 E surfactant is a Gemini wetting agent and molecular defoamer formulated to provide a unique combination of performance benefits. Surfynol® 104E surfactant’s unique chemical structure allows this product to provide multifunctional properties such as surface tension reduction, foam control, and viscosity stabilization. The hydrophobic nature of SURFYNOL® 104 E surfactant can result in significantly reduced water sensitivity compared to either conventional ethoxylated or anionic surfactants.
Due to its multifunctional properties, SURFYNOL® 104 E surfactant can provide performance benefits in many waterborne applications such as coatings, paints, adhesives, inks, pigment manufacture and dispersion, cements, metalworking lubricants, agricultural chemicals, and dye processing. SURFYNOL® 104 E surfactant contains no added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs), silicones or fluorosurfactants.
