Surfactants for Coatings and Inks: Dolfynox properties and applications
Thanks to the aquisition of Dols international in 2019, DKSH SCI Europe is happy to introduce its new line of surfactants for coatings and inks, produced in Europe.
The Dolfynox range of products are surface active agents which provide wetting and defoaming properties for a wide variety of application areas.
DOLFYNOX 1030
- a non-ionic highly efficient, low foaming propoxylated polyglycol ether based wetting agent for aqueous systems.
- Alternative for 2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decyne-4,7-diol (TMDD)
- Good substrate wetting
- Strong surface tension reduction.
- APEO & VOC free
- 100% solids.
DOLFYNOX 104
- is a series of non-ionic surface active agents based on 2,4,7,9-Tetramethyl-5decyne-4,7-diol (TMDD), which provide both wetting and defoaming properties in many application areas.
- Excellent surface wetting
- Strong reduction of static and dynamic surface tension in water
- Low water solubility
- Low water sensitivity
- No cloud point, less temperature dependent activity
- Solids content from 50-100%
