Fluorosurfactant FC 4430


Non-Ionic Fluorinated highly active c4 Chain fluorinated Surfactant for water and solvent borne coatings to improve substrate wetting, dispersion, levelling and stain resistance.



  • Product Type: 3M FC 4430



3M FC 4430is a non-ionic polymeric fluorochemical surfactant belonging to a class of coating additives manufactured by 3M Advanced Materials Division. FC 4430 provides low surface tensions in coating systems best served by fluorochemical surfactants. 3M fluorosurfactant FC-4430 can be used in both water and solvent-based coating formulations and can provide benefits for dirt pickup resistance and stain resistance in certain applications.

FC 4430 is high end levelling and super wetting agent. It is a non-ionic polymeric fluorochemical most suitable for water-borne, solvent-borne and high-solids organic polymer systems. Exhibits good thermal stability and is very efficient at reducing the surface tension in aqueous systems. Designed for inks, architectural & industrial coatings, water reducible and radiation curable coatings. Complies with TSCA and REACH regulations.

FC 4430 is based on an entirely new fluorochemical building block, consisting of high-molecular-weight polymers that show outstanding performance that have long differentiated fluorochemicals from competing surfactant technologies, such as silicones and hydrocarbons. Geocon Products is the best fluorosurfactant exporter in India.
