Non-Foaming Anionic Fluorosurfactant
 
 

MASURF FS-710/FS-780 is characterized as mixed anionic fluorosurfactants in an aqueous solution. With typical use levels of 50-500ppm, MASURF FS-710/FS-780 is effective at very low concentrations, and together with traditional hydrocarbon surfactants, can contribute properties not possible with either material alone. MASURF FS-710 is 7% active, and FS-780 is 80% active.

MASURF FS-710/FS-780 provides low, fast breaking foam with superior surface tension and interfacial tension reduction for wetting and leveling performance unobtainable with other fluorinated or traditional alkyl surfactants. FS-710/FS-780 exhibits exceptional surface activity in acidic and oxidizing systems, with excellent water solubility. FS-710/FS-780 is stable in anionic and nonionic systems, and effective in high or low pH. FS-710/FS-780 is shipped as the free acid, allowing neutralization with any alkali of choice.

When formulated into Floor Finishes and Sealers, FS-710/FS-780 imparts exceptional low/no foam wetting and leveling, eliminating the need for silicone defoamers. In Carpet and Upholstery Cleaners, MASURF FS-710/FS-780 provides effective wetting, eliminates the need for separate anti-foams, and imparts resoil resistance. Use FS-710/FS-780 to improve wetting of difficult to wet surfaces such as plastics, oily substrates, waxy and silicone treated surfaces, and fluoropolymer treated fabrics. The hypochlorite stability and anti-resoil performance of MASURF FS-710/FS-780 adds a demonstrable plus to Cleaning Products, such as Tile, Tub and Bowl Cleaners.

In Plating applications, FS-710/FS-780 is stable in hot chromic acid plating solutions for effective surface tension reduction for Hard Chrome fume suppression.

Hard Chrome Fume Suppression and Control
A wetting agent fume suppressant (WA/FS) reduces the surface tension of a liquid. When wetting agents lower the surface tension of a plating bath, gases escape at the surface of the solution with a diminished "bursting" effect, causing less mist formation. In essence, a wetting agent reduces bubble size, and smaller bubbles burst with less impact on the surface, with a reduction in emissions with reduction in surface tension.

FS-700/FS-780 WA/FS Fume Suppression differs from foam blanket fume suppression where a layer of foam is generated across the surface or the treating solution. In contrast, foam blanket foam suppression does not prevent the formation of chromic acid mist, they trap the mist under a blanket of foam. Literature references report that foam blanket type fume suppressants can entrap hydrogen gas, which may pose a risk of explosion (Maricopa, 1997).

Masurf FS-710/FS-780 is stable throughout a wide range of operating temperatures, current densities, chromic acid concentrations, and oxidation-reduction reactions while maintaing a low plating bath surface tension.


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. 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).
