Creating stable, non-foaming latexes. Nowhere is the versatility of surfactants more relevant than in latex paint formulations. They must provide uncompromising stability, extremely low foam characteristics as well as consistent wetting properties. With PLURONIC® surfactants, latex formulators can use a single agent offering a wide variety of significant performance advantages. These include excellent

freeze-thaw, mechanical and electrolyte stability and low water sensitivity. Additionally, the low foaming characteristics of PLURONIC® surfactants let you dispense with defoaming methods that often interfere with other desired latex formulation properties. BASF, the developer and producer of these high-performance agents, believes

there is more to be learned. With ongoing research, product breakthroughs are within grasp. And this spirit of innovation extends far beyond R&D, into customer service, applications support, delivery and supply. For more information, call Performance Chemicals at 800-367-9861.
