Dow Surfactants A guide to products and performance for paints and coatings
Dow Surfactants for Paints and Coatings – UnmatchedSelection and Performance from the World’s Leading Supplier
A drilling platform off the coast of Venezuela withstands the corrosive effects of seawater,
thanks to a specially formulated marine coating. In the U.S., workers brighten the interior
walls of a newly constructed office complex with a low VOC paint. And in Korea, workers
apply durable automotive finishes to cars slated for export around the globe.

The ECOSURF™ SA Surfactants, based on seed oil hydrophobes, show no loss in performance compared to conventionalnonionicsurfactantsusedinpaintsandcoatings.Infact,theyhaveapositiveimpactonminimumfilmformation temperature. At the same time, they reduce costs through faster dissolution and reduced cycle times. SincetheyarebasedonseedoilalcoholsandcreatenoVOCemissions,ECOSURF™ SA Surfactants also give paint systems an improved overall environmental profile.
