3M Fluorochemical Additives for Paints and Coatings are materials based on C4 chemistry. They are designed to enhance performance, reduce surface defects, and keep surfaces looking like new, longer.
3M Fluorochemical Additives family is consisted of a variety of two advanced material groups: 3M Fluorosurfactants and 3M Stain Resistant Additives and Sealers.
Fluorosurfactants
3M Fluorosurfactants based on the innovative C4 chemistry platform, offer formulators an outstanding level of performance and control in a broad range of water and solvent-based coatings. The Advanced wetting and levelling agents offer smoother surfaces and defect-free finishes.
Stain Resistant Additives – oil and water repellence additives
3M Stain Resistant Additives and Sealers provide long-lasting repellence to oil and water based stains and stain release characteristics for porous surfaces such as stone, concrete, grout and unglazed tile. The surface appearance of the substrate is generally unaffected.
Fluorosurfactants
With 3M Fluorosurfactants a producer can: reduce surface tension, help paints and coatings overcome surface contamination, obtain effectiveness in both aqueous and solvent-borne systems, use it as a wetting agent, as a levelling agent, obtain dirt pick up resistant, get easy oil stain removal, get open time improvement, anti-block and low foam.
Stain Resistant Additives – oil and water repellence additives
Stain Resistant Additives products can be used either on their own, as penetrating sealers, or formulated into a variety of coatings and construction materials, to add repellence and stain release characteristics.
