|
With typical use concentrations of an economical 50-500ppm, Fluorosurfactants
provide predictable wetting, leveling and surface tension reduction
properties not possible with hydrocarbon, acetylenic or silicone surfactants
for use in a wide range of applications including personal care products.
Fluorosurfactants can also impart significant oil and sebum resistance
to treated substrates.

Structure/Function relationship of Fluorosurfactants |
The structure below illustrates a typical hydrocarbon surfactant,
with a hydrophobic/lipophilic tail and a hydrophilic/lipophobic head.
Hydrocarbon surfactants tend to orient and concentrate at condensed
phase interfaces, i.e. liquid/liquid, liquid/solid. Typical hydrocarbon
surfactants cannot function as wetting/leveling agents in organic,
high solids, non-aqueous or other oily phase systems, given the nature
of their lipophilic tail.

The structure below illustrates a typical fluorocarbon surfactant,
with the carbon fluorine attachment (CF2). In contrast to the hydrocarbon
surfactant structure above, fluorocarbon surfactants differ discretely
but significantly. Instead of a hydrophobic/lipophilic tail and a
hydrophilic/lipophobic head, fluorocarbon surfactants posses a fluoroalkyl
hydrophobic/lipophobic tail and what should be characterized as a
solubilizing head. Where hydrocarbon surfactants tend to orient and
concentrate at condensed phase interfaces, fluorocarbon surfactants
concentrate at the liquid air interface.

The strong electronegativity of the fluoroalkyl chain drives fluorosurfactants
to the liquid air interface, resulting in dramatic reductions in surface
tension compared with hydrocarbon surfactants that concentrate at
condensed phases. Given the nature of the fluoroalkyl tail, fluorosurfactants
function well as wetting/leveling agents in organic, high solids,
non-aqueous or other oily phase systems, as well as in aqueous systems,
and can impart oil and grease resistance to treated substrates.
Masurf FS-Fluorosurfactants and Masurf FP-Fluoropolymers do not contain
PFOS/PFOA. Masurf FS and FP products are manufactured with telomerization
process fluoroaliphatic intermediates that do not contain, release
or have been shown to degrade to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)
or perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). |
