Capstone® Fluorosurfactant FS-3100

Capstone® fluorosurfactant FS-3100 is a non-ionic fluorosurfactant by Chemours. Provides exceptionally low surface tension in aqueous or solvent-based products, enabling better wetting, spreading, leveling, and other beneficial properties. It is VOC- & APEO-free, non-flammable and is compatible with additives and resins of any ionic class. It can deliver tremendous wetting power even at very low concentrations. It is stable in acidic, basic, brine and hard water environments, making it easy to formulate into a variety of systems, based on short chain molecules that cannot break down to PFOA in the environment. Offers wetting and levelling, good re-wet characteristics in multi-coat applications, reduces cratering and provides faster spreading, compatible with hydrocarbon surfactants when used in water-based floor finishes, waxes and polishes. Improves wetting in wood coatings. Recommended dosage level of Capstone® fluorosurfactant FS-3100 is 0.01–0.1% active ingredient in aqueous-based paints.
