TECHNICAL DATA SHEET TM Flexiwet™ DST Versatile wetting and leveling fluorosurfactant Overview Technical Information •• Partially fluorinated surfactant blend, designed to deliver both static and dynamic surface tension reduction •• Combines effective wetting, leveling, anti-block and flow control •• VOC formulation reducer for eliminating or reducing the need for solvents in a formulation system •• Allows water-based coatings & finishes to wet oil contaminated surfaces •• Anionic surfactant for use with soft water in non-acidic systems •• Use Flexiwet DST to replace or minimize traditional wetting, leveling and defoamer additives to optimize low-VOC architectural coatings formulations Flexiwet DST is a VOC-free and APEOfree fluorosurfactant blend designed to work as the only surfactant in systems where a balance of wetting, leveling and emulsification is required. Flexiwet DST has all the dramatic static surface tension reducing capabilities of a fluorosurfactant (22 dynes/cm at 0.1% actives) while at the same time delivering excellent dynamic surface tension reduction (35 dynes/cm in less than 200 milliseconds at 0.1% actives. Applications •• Floor finishes and Polishes •• Aqueous adhesives •• Caulks and sealers •• Paints, Coatings and Industrial finishes •• Architectural coatings •• Wood coatings and treatments •• Inks and Graphic Arts •• Cleaning and scale removal •• Precision cleaning Flexiwet DST provides a combination of static and dynamic surface tension reduction properties for applications where the wetting properties must develop instantly and yet reach the lowest equilibrium surface tension levels possible. Optimized for use in coatings, Flexiwet DST is effective in floor finish formulations where good coverage (wetting into interstices in the floor), coatings smoothness (rapid leveling at the air interface) with good re-wet characteristics in multi-coat applications is required. In Precision Cleaning applications, including wafer polishing and metal cleaning, Flexiwet DST increases cleaning efficiency through effective wetting and spreading of the polishing or cleaning solution on low energy or oil contaminated surfaces.
