FLUOROSURFACTANTS ADDITIVES
HEXAFOR™ 672
SHORT PERFLUORINATED CHAIN
FLUOROSURFACTANT
DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL INFORMATION
HEXAFOR™ 672 is a water and solvent soluble, ethoxylated APPEARANCE Colorless to pale yellow clear liquid
non-ionic fluorosurfactant with a very low foaming that
reduces effectively surface tension of water and solvent- IONIC NATURE Non-ionic
based systems.
DENSITY 0,98 g/cm3
HEXAFOR™ 672 has high property in terms of dynamic
surface tension, allowing the coating formulations to reach
FLASH POINT 74°C
rapidly the low values of static surface tensions. It is stable
in both acid and basic media and it is an effective additive COMPOSITION 9 - 11% active material
in water and solvent-based paints and coatings. 89 - 91% DPM
HEXAFOR™ 672 is based on short-chain fluorinated
monomers containing 6 perfluorinated carbon atoms, that
cannot breakdown into PFOA in the environment.
SOLUBILITY TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
> 2% in water, isopropanol, ethanol, methyl ethyl ketone, Non-volatile content: 9 - 11%
acetone, butyl acetate, DPM, Propylene glycol, Exxsol D40, pH: 5 - 7
Toluene.
SPECIAL FEATURES APPLICATIONS
n For water and solvent-based systems HEXAFOR™ 672 can be diluted at very low concentrations
(0,01 - 0,1%) to work properly.
n Excellent reduction of surface tension at very low
Some examples of applications:
concentrations
n Very low foam formation n Paint, coating and inks
n Fast lowering of surface tension n Floor waxes and polishes
n Excellent levelling n Emulsion polymerization
n Reduces orange peel effect n Adhesive
n Improves wetting of most water and solvent-based
systems
n HEXAFOR™ 672 is exempt from the obligation
imposed by REACH regulation because it is classified
as a polymer
n In compliance with the limits set by the regulation
(EC) 2017/1000 on PFOA, its salts and PFOA-related
substances (PFOA free*)
