Classification: acetylenic diol; nonionic surfactant; gemini surfactant

As a typical Gemini surfactant, Surfadol^® 541 provides multifunctional properties such as dynamic surface tension reduction, foam control, water sensitivity reduction, and viscosity stabilization. Available in solid, liquid or powder form, Surfadol^® 541 is widely used as wetting agent or anti-foaming agent in waterborne coatings such as electro-deposit coatings, industrial coatings, as well as water-based printing inks. The unique product can prevent surface defect problems such as fisheyes, crawling, and cratering on low-energy substrates, compared to fluorosurfactant or silicone surfactants.

Surfadol^® 541 surfactant contains no added alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). This product has been sold in more than 50 countries, and used in the following applications. It’s also suitable for food contact applications.
