FluorN 2900 is a 100% active, non-ionic, alkylphenolethoxylate-free (APEO), PFOA/PFOS-free, perfluoropolyether (PFPE) fluoro-surfactant that at low concentration reduces the surface tension of aqueous and polar solvent formulations sufficiently to permanently wet and provide smooth, pinhole-free films on PTFE and other low energy surfaces. FluorN 2900 provides for excellent substrate wetting, leveling, stripping, re-coating, anti-fogging, anti-blocking, cleanability, and open time extension. In aqueous and polar solutions, it is low or non-foaming.

Chemical Family: Fluoropolymers, Fluorosurfactants, Perfluoropolyethers (PFPE)

Labeling Claims: APEO-Free, PFOA-free, PFOS-free, VOC-free

Features: Easy Cleaning, Good Leveling, Improved Substrate Wetting

Applications & Uses

Applications
  • Cleaners for Glass, ceramics and stone: Wetting strength at low concentrations is key to good cleaning. FluorN 2900N promotes low surface tension and wetting using concentrations of 500 ppm or lower. The residual film is thinner and evaporates more quickly with less haze and streaking.
  • Strippers: The chemical stability of a surfactant is essential in stripping products, and FluorN 2900N has excellent resistance in acid and alkali solutions. Fluor 2900N also has excellent wetting and penetrating strength.
  • VOC-Free Paints: FluorN 2900N provides multiple benefits to paints and coatings. In the grind and the letdown phases of production 2900N eliminates the need for pigment-wetting, film-leveling and anti-blocking agents, also reducing the need for defoamer.
  • Inks: Without interfering with the dispersed phases, FluorN 2900N imparts anti-blocking, ink acceptance, leveling and wetting strength.
