Solvents:

FluorN S83 is a 40% solids fluorosurfactant in organic solvents that reduces surface tension. S83 provides water repellency, oil repellency and chemical resistance when added to coatings, inks and paints. S83 is effective at low concentrations, reducing surface tension of surfaces for durable water, oil and stain repellency. S83 also reduces solution surface tension of non-polar organic solvents. Other applications for S83 include leveling agent for use in oil-based conditioners and foaming agent in petroleum exploration. FluorN S83 also prevents orange peel and fish eye problems in paints and inks. S83 is available in various solvents including butyl-acetate, isopar, ethyl-acetate, odorless mineral spirits, kerosene, naphtha, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). FluorN may replace for Capstones FS83.

Quantity: 100 grams (125 ml container)
Shelf life: One year (in unopened container)
Key benefits: Reduces surface tension, which improves wetting and enhances leveling of paints, oils and conditioners. Provides water repellency, oil repellency, stain repellency and chemical resistance to films and coatings.
Concentration: FluorN S83 is effective at concentrations between 0.05 – 0.25% by weight. S83 is sold as a 40% concentrate in Butyl Acetate, MEK, Ethyl-Acetate, Isopar-H, Odorless Mineral Spirits or kerosene.
