Chemguard S-111

Alkyl amine oxide. Chemguard S-111, composed of C-6 perfluoro telomere with a high performance, acts by lowering surface tension to as low as 15 dynes/cm in water at very low concentrations thus allowing for rapid attainment of low equilibrium surface tensions. In addition, it is an excellent foamer, non-flammable and an excellent replacement for FS-510 and FS-51. This product is a dilute solution composed of 40% active fluorosurfactant in water and solvent miscible diluent. This additive provides excellent wetting, spreading, leveling, and flow control properties on various types of water-based as well as solvent-based systems. Moreover it is ideal for coating formulations designed for difficult to coat, low surface tension substrates. Its amphoteric nature allows S-111 to be unsusceptible to the differences in pH, which provides excellent hard water resistance. Fluorosurfactants such as Chemguard S-103A are much more chemically stable than typical hydrocarbon surfactants, particularly in the presence of acids, alkalies, or heat. Typical uses include levelling and anti-static agents for photographic coatings, floor polishes, paints, coatings, inks and in solvent extraction of metals in aqueous solutions.
