CytoN 563

CytoN 563 is a non-reactive, ethylene glycol based polymeric surfactant compatible with water and most polar solvent-based inks, coatings, resists and emulsions. 563 is non-ionic and provides low surface tension in aqueous and polar coating systems. This is an excellent wetting, leveling and spreading agent for a variety of waterborne, high-solids and radiation curable coatings. CytoN 563 may replace Fluorad FC-430, FC-4430, or FC-171.
