Capstone™ FS-60
Capstone™ FS-60 is an anionic fluorosurfactant that dramatically reduces the surface tension of aqueous floor care, paint, coating, and ink formulations.
Capstone™ FS-60 is a water-soluble anionic fluorosurfactant that provides water-based formulations with remarkably low surface tension and minimal foaming at low usage rates. The dramatic reduction in surface tension and minimal foaming make Capstone™ FS-60 and ideal wetting and leveling aid for coating, ink, and floor care formulations. Capstone™ FS-60 is also effective at improving the performance of concentrated cleaning solutions. Capstone™ FS-60 is available commercially as a 40% solids solution in water and IPA.
Note: All samples and purchases of Capstone for new projects and applications must first be evaluated for approval by ChemPoint and Chemours.
Specifications
Appearance: Light yellow to amber, clear liquid pH: 7–8 Specific Gravity: 1.1 g/mL Stability: Freeze-thaw stable Composition: 40% solids, 15% isopropyl alcohol, 45% water Shelf Life :5 years Foam: Can foam with excessive shaking Flash Point: 28 °C (82 °F)
Primary Chemistry: Anionic Fluorosurfactant
Features & Benefits
Provides leveling, anti-cratering, wetting, and blocking Good re-wet characteristics in multi-coat applications Reduces cratering and provides faster spreading Compatible with silicone additives Low foamer; ideal for coatings REACH compliant Listed on TSCA inventory
Problems Solved
Poor leveling and wetting of floor finishes due to the high surface tension of water-based formulations.
Applications
Capstone™ FS-60 was designed to be used in floor finishes to reduce the amount of surface defects by improving wetting, leveling, and spreading of the finish. Capstone™ FS-60 also improves re-wet properties in multi-coat applications. Recommended usage rates range from 0.01-0.04% actives.
In latex paints Capstone™ FS-60 improves leveling and reduces surface defects of the dried latex film. In addition, anti-blocking and soil resistance are also improved. Usage rates in latex paints is typically 0.05-0.1% actives.
Capstone™ FS-60 is also used in cleaning solutions to improve the penetration of the cleaner and increase wetting of soils.
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.
