Clariant has unveiled its new Vita 100% bio-based surfactants and polyethylene glycols (PEGs) to help directly address climate change by helping remove fossil carbon from the value chain.
Unexpected failures may appear after paint application, drying and aging. Surfactant leaching is one such failure, and is discussed in detail in this article.
Due to their tailored system compatibility, the new sili¬cone surfactants are suitable for use in both aqueous one-component systems as well as in aqueous two-com¬ponent polyurethane and radiation-curable systems.
Calfax DB-45 is the go-to surfactant in emulsion polymerization for plastic modification and other applications at elevated temperatures, due to excellent thermal stability.
