Dynax

Since our founding in 1991, Dynax has become a leading global producer of specialty fluorochemicals. The Dynax product line includes fluorosurfactants and fluorochemical foam stabilizers for use in fire-fighting foam agents, fluorosurfactants for the coatings and ink industries and other applications requiring superior wetting and leveling properties. Dynax’s executive team has over 100 years of combined experience in the fire-fighting foam industry. Our expertise includes the development of new and innovative fluorochemical surfactants and foam stabilizers that are designed specifically for use in firefighting foam concentrates. We hold patents on fluorochemicals as well as the use of those chemicals in fire-fighting foam formulations. But our service to the fire-fighting foam industry does not end there. We also provide formulation assistance and expertise to foam formulators and foam producers so as to maximize performance and minimize cost. We are familiar with all major worldwide fire testing standards and regularly work with approval agencies in the development or refinement of their performance specifications. All of Dynax fluorochemicals are derived from perfluoroalkyl iodide intermediates. These intermediates, commonly known as telomer iodides, are produced by a telomerization process. Fluorochemicals produced by this process do not contain PFOS (Perfluorooctyl Sulfonate) which EPA has classified as PBT (Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic). Dynax fluorochemicals are not derived from PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid), and do not degrade into PFOS or PFOA in the environment. Today, as the largest producer and supplier of specialty fluorochemicals to the fire-fighting foam industry in the world, Dynax continues to actively develop innovative fluorochemicals to further strengthen its growing leadership.
