Fluorochemical Surfactant

Our products, fluoro-surfactants, provide lower surface tension with small addition amounts (0.01~0.1%) compared to other surfactants (hydrocarbon-based, silicone-based).

Application

Floor wax
Cleaning agents
Release agents
Photo resist
Paints
Inks
Coating agents
PTFE dispersions
Prevents grease base oil from spreading
Release film
Various internal additives for stain resistance　 etc…

Non-PFHxA Type

As an alternative to conventional products, we offer non-PFHxA type fluoro-surfactants with low environmental regulation risk.

Our products can achieve the same performance as conventional products. While they solve the problem of persistence, their heat resistance may be inferior to conventional products, so use in applications requiring heat resistance is limited.

Non-PFAS Type

This is a fluorochemical surfactant that does not contain PFAS*.

Because it does not contain PFAS, its performance is significantly inferior to conventional products, but it can replace conventional products in some applications. It has been particularly successful in leveling applications.

*PFAS is defined by ECHA (European Chemicals Agency)

Customized Synthesis

We synthesize samples individually for each user.
It is possible to provide materials that meet your needs.

Continuous Supply

We promise continuous supply and will not withdraw from the market due to our own reasons.
We will not discontinue products even if the quantity is small.

Substitute for Existing Products

If the product you are conventionally using has been discontinued, we can provide you with a product that is as like the existing product as possible.

Supporting Replacement Demand Due to the Discontinuation of Fluorinated Surfactants.

With the tightening of environmental regulations, many fluorinated surfactants have been discontinued. To meet our customers’ needs, we provide optimal alternative products tailored to specific applications and performance requirements.
