CARBOWET 106

CARBOWET 106 is a nonionic surfactant that has been designed as an effective alternative to alkylphenol ethoxylate surfactants (APEs) containing approximately six moles of ethylene oxide (with HLBs of ~11). It is a 100% active, low viscosity liquid that provides rapid pigment and substrate wetting. CARBOWET 106 surfactant offers benefits in a wide range of applications related to building materials. Additionally, CARBOWET 106 surfactant is easy to use and incorporate. It provides cost-effective surface tension reduction and rapidly soluble in water, not prone to gel formation. CARBOWET 106 contains no added solvent or APEs. It has several product compliances and was found to contribute no VOC under EPA Method 24 testing conditions when evaluated at 1.0 wt.% in a zero-VOC formulation.
