Capstone™ FS-50
Capstone™ FS-50 is an amphoteric fluorosurfactant that is used to reduce surface tension and provide sustained foam. It is most often used in water-based cleaning products.
Capstone™ FS-50 is an amphoteric fluorosurfactant that is used to significantly reduce the surface tension of water-based formulations. Capstone™ FS-50 is also used to provide sustained foam. This reduction of surface tension and sustained foaming makes Capstone™ FS-50 ideal for use in industrial and institutional cleaning products. Capstone™ FS-50 is available commercially as a 27% solids solution in 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums.
Note: All samples and purchases of Capstone for new projects and applications must first be evaluated for approval by ChemPoint and Chemours.

Primary Chemistry: Amphoteric Fluorosurfactant
Features & Benefits
Reduces the surface tension of aqueous solutions Useful in providing sustained foam facilitates the formation of a thin low surface tension aqueous film Aids in creation of surface defect-free films over low surface tension Improves wetting, spreading, and leveling properties REACH compliant Listed on TSCA inventory
Problems Solved
High surface tension of water-based paints that causes poor wetting and adhesion.
Applications
Capstone™ FS-50 is recommended for use as a foaming agent and surface tension reducing surfactant in oil field operations, industrial cleaning solutions, floor care products, and latex paint formulations.
Capstone® fluorosurfactants & fluororepellents were some of the first short-chain alternatives commercialized so Chemours has lots of experience helping their customers reformulate.
Capstone™ fluorosurfactants and repellents were introduced as sustainable replacements that meet the goals of the U.S. EPA 2010/15 PFOA Stewardship Program. They are based on short-chain molecules that cannot break down to PFOA or PFOS in the environment.
