The Toynol FS-600 series nonionic surfactants can offer a unique

combination of formulating benefits, including wetting, defoaming and dispersion.

Toynol FS-600 series surfactants are produced by reacting various amounts

of ethylene oxide with Toynol 104 surfactant, a nonionic molecule with a hydrophilic section in the middle of two symmetric hydrophobic groups. Adding ethylene oxide to Toynol FS-600 surfactant increases the hydrophilic nature of the product, modifying its water solubility, wetting and defoaming characteristics. Depending on the ethylene oxide level, Toynol FS-600 series surfactants function as low-foaming, nonfoaming or defoaming wetting agents in a variety of applications including inks, adhesives, coatings, agricultural chemicals, electroplating, oil field chemicals and paper coatings.
