Air Products Launches Surfynol 107L Defoamer and Wetting Agent at ABRAFATI

Air Products’ Materials Technologies segment introduced the latest addition to its portfolio of molecular defoamers and dynamic wetting agents – Surfynol 107L – at the Associação Brasileira dos Fabricantes de Tintas in São Paulo, Brazil, from Oct. 13-15.
 
Air Products’ Surfynol 107L surfactant is a liquid, nonionic wetting agent and molecular defoamer based on a proprietary high-performance Gemini chemistry. Surfynol 107L surfactant contains no added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs), silicones or fluorosurfactants, and is suitable for low- and zero-VOC formulations. This unique chemistry offers a range of surface active performance benefits, is nonfoaming, and will disrupt the foam stabilization properties of other formulation components, providing defect-free defoaming and deaerating benefits.
 
“With the launch of Surfynol 107L, we continue to expand our molecular defoamer product line so that we are able to offer formulators a wide variety of options to address their foam control and surface wetting needs,” said Debbie Anderson, Americas business manager, Additives, for Air Products. “This new product provides zero-foam dynamic wetting and defect-free foam control in low-VOC coating, ink and adhesive formulations,” added Anderson.
