Fluorosurfactants for coatings and cleaning
Compare non-ionic and anionic fluorosurfactants by solids, pH and listed uses in floor finishes, coatings, inks and cleaning.
VN-FL-1015 and VN-FL-1016 list low-foam wetting and leveling for floor finishes, cleaning solutions, paints and inks. Their typical data list non-ionic type, but the solid contents differ: 25% and 100%, respectively.
VN-FL-1018 is also listed as non-ionic, with 100% solids and compatibility with hydrocarbon surfactants. VN-FL-1020 is listed as anionic, with 15% solids, for water-based floor finishes, architectural coatings and metal cleaning.
What to check when selecting
- Check ionic type against the other surfactants and ingredients in the complete formulation.
- Use the listed solids and pH to compare supplied products; equal addition percentages do not imply equal solids addition.
- VN-FL-1015 and VN-FL-1016 list 0.1–0.2% dosage guidance with trial optimization. Do not extend that range to other models without confirmation.
