- Application
- Chemguard S-761P High Performance Anionic Fluorosurfactant is a dilute solution composed of 34% active fluorosurfactant in a water and solvent-miscible diluent. Typical uses include leveling and oil repellency for floor polishes, paints and coatings, adhesives, inks, waxes, caulks, and wood stains.
- Chemguard S-761P minimizes common surface defects in paints and coatings such as fisheyes, orange peel effects, and cratering. It is effective in improving anti-blocking for the new low volatile organic compound (VOC) paints in both semi-gloss and high-gloss formulas.
- The application of Chemguard S-761P is generally employed when typical hydrocarbon surfactants are inadequate. Fluorosurfactants, such as Chemguard S-761P, are more chemically stable than typical hydrocarbon surfactants, particularly in the presence of acids, alkalies, or heat. Recommended application rates depend on the formulation makeup, but typical levels of 0.01% to 0.20% are common. To determine the correct application rate level, screen several ranges of concentration to achieve the desired effect on the surface tension and wetting action.

Safety & Health
- Health and Safety
- Chemguard S-761P High Performance Anionic Fluorosurfactant is not recommended for use in applications involving repeated exposure to skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion.
- Chemguard fluorosurfactants are based on the telomer synthesis process and are composed of chains of six fluorinated carbons. The telomer process produces no perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), and C6 materials do not break down to yield perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Shelf Life
Store the Chemguard S-761P High Performance Anionic Fluorosurfactant between 5 °C and 50 °C (41 °F and 122 °F). If the agent is frozen or if solids separate, warm the agent to room temperature before use. The properties and performance of Chemguard S-761P are not affected by freezing or thawing. Shelf life is two years if the agent is stored and tightly sealed in the original container at temperatures below 50 °C (122 °F).
