The hydrophobic nature of this surfactant typically results in significantly reduced water sensitivity compared to either conventional ethoxylated or anionic surfactants. Its unique chemical nature allows it to provide multifunctional properties such foam control and viscosity stabilization. Offers quick migration which leads to low dynamic surface tension and thermal as well as chemical stability over a broad range of conditions. It reduces water sensitivity and improves flow as well as pigment grinding efficiency. It prevents surface defect problems such as fisheyes, crawling and cratering on low-energy substrates.
