Hydrophobic and Oleophobic Additives

Surfactants are used as dispersing, wetting, and leveling agents. These surfactants are also used as hydrophobic and oleophobic additives for many coatings.

CytoN 561 is a 100% or 25% solids, non-reactive, ethylene glycol based polymeric surfactant compatible with most polar solvent based inks, coatings, resists and emulsions.

CytoN 562 is a 100% or 25% solids, non-reactive, ethylene glycol based polymeric fluorosurfactant compatible with most polar solvent based inks, coatings, resists and emulsions.

CytoN 563 is a 100% or 20% solids, non-reactive, ethylene glycol based polymeric fluorosurfactant compatible with water-based inks, coatings, resists and emulsions.

CytoN 7298 is a highly active 100% solids hexafunctional acrylate that is compatible with most polar formulations. Cationic cure; adds lubricity, repellency, weather resistance.

CytoN X80 is a highly active >80% concentration siloxane polymer that is compatible with most polar formulations (including IPA and ethyl acetate). At 0.5% adds lubricity, low surface energy, water-repellency, and increased water contact angle.

CytoN T100 is a highly active >90% concentration siloxane polymer that is compatible with most polar formulations (including IPA and ethyl acetate). At 0.5% adds lubricity, low surface energy, water-repellency, and increased water contact angle.

CytoN 37B is a >25% concentration siloxane polymer that is compatible with most polar formulations (including IPA and ethyl acetate). At 0.5% adds lubricity, low surface energy, water-repellency, and increased water contact angle.

CytoN 372B is a 25% concentration polymer that is compatible with water-based formulations. At levels of 5% or less this surfactant adds lubricity, low surface energy, water-repellency, and increased water contact angle. 372B increases the hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, which can significantly improve the water- and oil-repelling behavior. The additive increases leveling, surface slip, water resistance, and weather resistance. CytoN 372B can also be used to improve ice and tape release properties.

CytoN 50N is a >90% concentration siloxane polymer that is compatible with most polar formulations (including IPA and ethyl acetate). At 0.5% adds lubricity, low surface energy, water-repellency, and increased water contact angle.
