WynSpread SW-277 Superwetting for Firefighting Foams
Product Details
Historically, drastically reducing surface tension was a job for fluorinated surfactants, such as perfluoroalkyl surfactants (or PFAS), but these solutions have come under scrutiny due to environmental and human health concerns.
Next generation AFFF solutions depend on silicone surfactants
AFFF formulators are now turning their attention to silicone surfactants, more specifically trisiloxane alkoxylates, which have shown exceptional performance in AFFF solutions, as well as spreading applications in the agriculture, coating, paints and textile industries.
Silicone surfactants can dramatically reduce aqueous surface tension, resulting in excellent spreading and stable foams with extended durability.
Key Features and benefits
• Lower surface tension compared to traditional organic surfactants.
• Able to form stable foams that spread across low energy hydrocarbon烃 surfaces, such as fuels
• Formulated without fluorine.
