Originally developed by the former Performance Materials Divisionof Air Products, which the Essen, Germany based company
recently acquired, Carbowet® GA-200 surfactant is suitable forlow-zero VOC, low emission and Ecolabel compliant formulations.
In addition, this non-ionic, next generation Grind Aid surfactant
offers superior low-foam surfactancy for pigmented systems
providing wetting, milling, and compatibilization benefits without
the adverse impacts on water sensitivity, foam, or rheology
typically found with other surfactants.
The performance characteristics of Carbowet® GA-200 surfactant
extend to a wide range of applications and formulations in which
the combination of dynamic wetting, compatibilization andstabilization can provide unique benefits.
The Carbowet® GA-200 surfactant is the latest in the line ofengineered solutions for the coatings market and its benefits, aswell as others are featured in a paper - “Leveraging surfactant
