Capstone^® Multifunctional Fluorosurfactants

FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, WITH A MINIMUM ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT*

Discover DuPont™ Capstone® Multifunctional Fluorosurfactants that provide Multifunctional Benefits for Paint and Coating Formulations

Fluorosurfactants have been used for years as wetting and leveling agents to overcome surface tension issues commonly encountered in various coatings systems. However, with the increasing pressure for formulating low-VOC paints, traditional surfactants have shown limitations; specifically, the trend to lower solvent use levels has led to new surface tension challenges for coatings formulators.

Maximum Performance

With Capstone^® fluorosurfactants, coating formulators can now achieve multifunctional performance above and beyond existing hydrocarbon and silicone based surfactants. Capstone^® fluorosurfactants show unique properties in reducing surface tension and in solving surface defects. Combined with their traditional role as wetting agents, using Capstone^® in your paint formulation leads to improved film quality.
