Fluoroaliphatic Betaine Fluorosurfactant
 
 

MASURF FS-1520 is characterized as a 20% active fluoroaliphatic betaine fluorosurfactant in a water/propylene glycol solution. With typical use levels of 50-500ppm, MASURF FS-1520 is effective at very low concentrations, and together with traditional hydrocarbon surfactants, can contribute properties not possible with either material alone.

MASURF FS-1520 is a very effective at reducing surface tension, in aqueous acids, bases and polar solvents. FS-1520 is high foaming amphoteric fluorosurfactant with high hard water tolerance, contributing exceptional foaming, wetting, spreading and leveling properties to a wide range of systems.

In Personal Care applications, MASURF FS-1520 is a performance additive in Hair Conditioner and Rinse formulations. As an amphoteric surfactant, FS-1520 exhibits high electrolyte tolerance when used in Alkaline Cleaners, and in Mining Operations such as flotation, wetting, penetration and leaching. As an Oil Well Stimulation Fluid ingredient, MASURF FS-1520 is an effective foaming and reducing surface tension in acids, KCl or brine. With high surface activity at low concentrations, when used in Photographic emulsions, Coatings and Polishes, FS-1520 provides exceptional surface wetting and leveling for high gloss and durability. Compare to Fluorad* FC-100, FC-751 and Zonyl** FSK.

Damaged hair, especially permed hair can be difficult to comb, especially when wet. Hair Conditioner products are generally oil-in-water emulsions in which the lipophilic conditioning quat is the active ingredient. The addition of very small amounts of MASURF FS-1520 significantly improves wet comb performance of this formula, and others of it's type, especially on damaged hair.

MASURF FS-1520 Furniture Polish is a low cost, stable, single vessel formulation that does not require homogenization. The addition of very small amounts of MASURF FS-1520 significantly improves the gloss and rub-out performance of this formula. MASURF FS-1520 is very efficient and effective at lowering interfacial tension to change microemulsion performance characteristics in this formula and others.

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% 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/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).
