Key Features
  • Water-soluble nonionic fluorosurfactant effective at low end-use concentrations (0.01-0.1% typical).
  • Exceptional surface tension reduction for wetting low-energy substrates such as plastic, metal and glass.
  • Optimized for surfactant performance, Thetawet short chain technology meets or exceeds performance of long-chain products.
  • 50% active material ideally suited for a wide range of applications.
  • Nonionic character allows compatibility with all surfactant types.
  • Effective in high or low pH, hard or soft water.
  • Stable in concentrated acids, bases and oxidizing solutions
  • Narrow-range ethoxylation for high consistency in critical-use applications such as ink-jet media.

Technical Details & Test Data

Technical Information
  • Thetawet™ FS-8050 is a 50% active water soluble nonionic fluorosurfactant in a low viscosity aqueous solution.
  • 100% VOC-free, Thetawet™ FS-8050 is ideal for use in VOC sensitive systems.
  • A water soluble fluorosurfactant, Thetawet™ FS-8050 can be used in concentrated aqueous systems.
  • For applications that require non-aqueous ingredients, a 100% solids version (Thetawet™ FS-8000) is also available.
  • Thetawet™ FS-8050 is an excellent choice for wetting difficult to wet, low energy surfaces such as plastics, oily substrates, waxy surfaces, and silicone and fluoropolymer treated fabrics with the ability at low use concentrations to reduce the surface tension of aqueous solutions and emulsions to 20 dynes/cm.
