Fluoroaliphatic Betaine Fluorosurfactant
 
 

MASURF FS-330 is characterized as a 30% active fluoroaliphatic betaine fluorosurfactant in a water/isopropanol solution. With typical use levels of 50-500ppm, MASURF FS-330 is effective at very low concentrations, and together with traditional hydrocarbon surfactants, can contribute properties not possible with either material alone.

MASURF FS-330 is a very effective at reducing surface tension, in aqueous acids, bases and polar solvents. FS-330 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-330 is a performance additive in Hair Conditioner and Rinse formulations.

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-330 significantly improves wet comb performance of this formula, and others of it's type, especially on damaged hair.

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).
