Optimized Fluorosurfactant for Alcohol Foaming
 
 

MASURF® AF-Series products are Perfluoroalkylethyl phosphate salts optimized  for foaming high concentrations of lower aliphatic alcohols and polar organic solvents in water. Masurf AF-Series products are effective foaming agents for lower aliphatic alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and propanol, polar organic solvents such as acetone, ethyleneglycol monobutyl ether, and mixtures of polar organic solvents such as isopropyl acetate.

Use MASURF AF-Series products as foaming surfactants in Personal Care Products such as foamable hand sanitizers, shampoos, personal cleansers (such as shower or bath oil foams, and other foamable soaps), brushless shave creams, sunscreens, make-up removers, analgesic rubs, and antiperspirants. MASURF AF-Series products also find used in industrial fields such as coatings, oilfield (foaming 80% methanol solutions), material finishes, paints, foam insulation, foam containers, and foam packaging products.

Masurf FS-Fluorosurfactant evaluation guidelines-
Masurf FS-Fluorosurfactants are effective at very low concentrations, typically 50-500 ppm, and can act synergistically with hydrocarbon and/or silicone surfactants. Evaluate in aqueous formulations at 0.1-0.5% active Masurf FS-Fluorosurfactant initially, then optimize by successively reducing the FS concentration by ½.

Masurf FS-Fluorosurfactants and Masurf FP-Fluoropolymers do not contain PFOS. 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).
