Highly Efficient Wetting with Fluorodyne 235 – Anionic Fluorosurfactant Smart Surface Tension Reduction with 15% Active Fluorotechnology for Water-Borne Systems. Fluorodyne 235 is a 15% active, anionic fluorosurfactant engineered specifically for water-borne coatings, inks, emulsions, and industrial formulations where fast, uniform wetting and excellent defect control are essential.
With its responsive anionic charge and fluorochemical backbone, Fluorodyne 235 delivers rapid dynamic surface tension reduction, enabling clean film formation even on difficult, low-energy, or contaminated substrates.
Its controlled activity makes it ideal for applications that require quick spreading, consistent leveling, and prevention of common coating defects such as fisheyes, pinholes, and craters. Fluorodyne 235 performs reliably across pH 3–11, offers strong compatibility with acrylic emulsions, PU dispersions, alkyd emulsions, latex systems, and water-reducible resins, and remains stable under typical shear and processing temperatures used in water-based manufacturing.
Designed as a cost-effective wetting booster, Fluorodyne 235 enhances substrate coverage, accelerates flow-out, improves edge-wetting in primers and basecoats, and maintains film clarity without affecting gloss, recoatability, or mechanical performance. For formulators seeking predictable, fast-acting surface modification in water-borne applications, Fluorodyne 235 delivers efficient, consistent, and clean fluorosurfactant performance.
