Carbowet® GA-210

It acts as a non-ionic wetting agent. This surfactant is a multifunctional, low-foaming grind aid which can provide rapid pigment as well as substrate wetting and is an environmentally preferable alternative to APE- containing surfactants. It is designed to assist in the formulation of low- to zero-VOC coatings while offering improved freeze-thaw stability, and scrub resistance. Exhibits little to no impact on system rheology, water resistance, dry time, block resistance, gloss, or opacity. Offers improvement in milling efficiency for faster as well as greater color and hiding development. Also offers improved color rub-up and color acceptance for enhanced touch up. Used for architectural coatings, graphic arts and industrial coatings applications. Also used for water-borne 2K epoxy coatings. Recommended usage between 0.2 and 0.3% of total formulation weight yields wetting benefits, while between 0.5 and 2.0% of total formulation weight yields stabilization benefits.
