SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant is a 100% active multifunctional surface active agent. Due to its volatile nature, SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant can evaporate from a system under use conditions and/or heating. Therefore, SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant is useful in applications where residual surface activity or contamination is undesirable, such as silicon wafer and glass cleaning. SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant can provide excellent wetting of polyethylene and polypropylene films. Upon evaporation, little to no surfactant remains to interfere with trapping or cause water sensitivity in printing inks. During the curing of silicones by the silane/alkene addition reaction, SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant can “block” platinum catalysts through complexation; this effect can be used to delay the curing reaction. However, the SURFYNOL® 61 surfactant typically flashes off upon heating to liberate the active catalyst and trigger the reaction.

VANCRYL® 800 is a styrene/acrylic copolymer used in waterborne inks and coatings for graphic arts applications. VANCRYL® 800 provides pigment wetting along with the viscosity stability needed for aqueous gravure and flexographic inks. The transfer properties and hold-out characteristics of inks prepared with VANCRYL 800 are excellent. VANCRYL® 800 is also effective as a protective colloid in the production of styrene-acrylic copolymer emulsions.

TAMOL® 851 is a versatile polyacid dispersant that offers outstanding performance in a wide range of latex paint formulations. TAMOL® 851 is supplied at 30% solids in water and is free of both formaldehyde preservatives and ammonia. It is recommended for flat through semigloss acrylic, stirene/acrylic, and vinyl acrylic formulations. TAMOL® 851 is specifically designed to offer excellent stability in those formulations that contain zinc oxide.

TAMOL® 1254 is a versatile, low-cost, low-foaming polyacid dispersant that offers outstanding performance in a wide range of latex paint formulations. It is recommended for low sheen flats through gloss acrylic, styrene-acrylic and vinyl acrylic formulations. In addition to good efficiency, this polyacid dispersant offers excellent stability and color acceptance even in formulations containing zinc oxide.
