LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
Oct. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Air
Products (NYSE:APD) Materials Technologies segment will introduce
the latest addition to its innovative portfolio of molecular
defoamers and dynamic wetting agents—Surfynol® 107L—at
the Associacao Brasileira dos Fabricantes de Tintas in Sao Paulo, Brazil, from October 13-15.
Air Products' Surfynol 107L surfactant is a liquid, nonionic
wetting agent and molecular defoamer based on a proprietary
high-performance Gemini chemistry. Surfynol 107L surfactant
contains no added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs), silicones, or
fluorosurfactants, and is suitable for low- and zero-VOC
formulations. This unique chemistry offers a range of surface
active performance benefits, is nonfoaming, and will disrupt the
foam stabilization properties of other formulation components,
providing defect-free defoaming and deaerating benefits.
"With the launch of Surfynol 107L, we continue to expand our
molecular defoamer product line so that we are able to offer
formulators a wide variety of options to address their foam control
and surface wetting needs," said Debbie
Anderson, Americas business manager, Additives, for Air
Products. "This new product provides zero-foam dynamic wetting and
defect-free foam control in low-VOC coating, ink and adhesive
formulations," added Anderson.
Air Products' Jim Reader, lead
chemist in Additives Americas, will present a paper discussing new
superwetting surfactants for coatings applications at ABRAFATI. His
paper will be presented from 2:30-3:10
p.m. on Thursday, October 15,
in the ABRAFATI Auditorium 4. Marcelo
Rufo, Additives business manager, will give a presentation
titled "Global Environmental Regulations Drive New Technologies in
Epoxy Coatings" on Wednesday, October
14, at 1:45 p.m. in Auditorium
6.
