Fluorosurfactant FC 4434


3M™ Fluorosurfactant FC-4434 is a water-soluble, general purpose nonionic fluorinated surfactant which contributes excellent wetting, spreading and leveling properties to a variety of coating systems. Some typical application areas include architectural coatings, inks, high solids coatings, water reducible coatings and radiation curable coatings



  • Product Type: 3M FC 4434



3M fluorosurfactant FC-4434 is 25% active fluorochemical surfactant in a water miscible  diluent. It may be used as a flow and leveling agent in various applications including, inks, paints and coatings, polymers, adhesives, waxes, polishes and caulks, as  well as other industrial coatings. FC-4434 can provide  benefits for dirt pick up resistance and stain resistance in certain coating applications of architectural paints.

FC 4434 is highly recommended use level is between 0.05% and 0.3% active surfactant. However, use level can vary depending on the application and concentration of other additives and solvents in the formulation
