Chemguard S-500

Amphoteric perfluoroalkyl betaine. Chemguard S-500, a dilute solution composed of 27% active fluorosurfactant in a water and solvent miscible diluent, exhibits surface tensions as low as 15 dynes/cm in water at very low concentrations. It provides excellent wetting, spreading, leveling, and flow control properties on various types of water-based as well as solvent-based systems. It is also ideal for coating formulations designed for difficult to coat, low surface tension substrates. Possesses excellent hard water resistance due to its amphoteric nature of being unsusceptible to the differences in pH. It acts as a non-flammable and an excellent foamer for replacement of FS-500 and FS-50. Uses include leveling and anti-static agents for photographic coatings, floor polishes, paints and coatings, inks, and in solvent extraction of metals in aqueous solutions.
