Because they contain two hydrophiles and at least two hydrophobes within a single molecule, Gemini surfactants are more surface-active than their single hydrophile/single hydrophobe analogs, as shown by the diagram below. It possesses 100% active liquid, no hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), no alkylphenol ethoxylates (APE-free), low VOCs, fast knock-down defoaming and outstanding foam control, excellent dynamic wetting, low-odor, nonionic surfactant, non-micellar, no cloud point, chemical stability from pH 3 to 13, wide compounding latitude. EnviroGem AD01 surfactant is recommended for use in waterborne, radiation-cured (UV/EB), and other systems in which a solvent-free wetting agent and/or defoamer is desired. It is used in automotive OEM and refinish, OEM, DIY and UV wood, industrial maintenance, metal and paper, graphic arts, printing inks, overprint varnishes, fountain solutions, adhesives, dye and pigment synthesis, pigment grinding, oil and gas processing, cleaning products, semiconductor cleaning and processing, metalworking fluids, cements, mortars and grouts and agricultural adjuvants. Defoaming wetting agent. Used in automotive OEM and refinish, OEM, DIY and UV wood, industrial maintenance, metal and paper, graphic arts, printing inks, overprint varnishes. Offers low VOCs, fast knock-down defoaming and outstanding foam control. Possesses very good dynamic wetting and nonionic surfactant. Provides chemical stability.
