ViriDyn surfactants, leveling, wetting, dispersing, foaming additives and agents: lower surface tension; increase water, oil, stain repellency. Paints, coatings, inks, repellents, sealers.

Surface Additives

High performance surface-active agents (surfactants) for improved leveling, wetting, foaming and dispersing.

ViriDyn surfactants lower surface tension, while increasing water, oil and stain repellency. ViriDyn’s family of high-performance surfactants are optimized for diverse applications across both water-based and solvent-based formulations, including for batteries, coatings, detergents, inks, paints, repellents, sealers, varnishes and waxes. ViriDyn surfactants also play essential roles in specialized applications such as: metal plating and metals processing; firefighting foams for hydrocarbon, solvent and alcohol fires.
