Surfactants GuideUnivar offers you an outstanding range of trivial and multifunctional surfactants from innovative suppliers.

The surfactants can act as wetting, foam control, dispersing agents, but also can solve various others issues on your formulation paint formulation like:

• Color development• Flow&Leveling• Stain resistance• Scratch resistance • Water resistance

They are also really important in the emulsion polymerization and in the construction market.

Univar is enjoyed to offer you this guide we have tried to make the most practical and accurate as possible in order to help you to find the right product for the right application and swift the innovation. It is dedicated for the surfactant ranges. We hope it will be helpful to guide you in your formulation and comply with your expectation.

Specific brochures from our principles are available on request. As the paint industry continues its evolution from solvent to water-based products, UNIVAR is constantly working to provide better additives that help you improve both your paint quality and your bottom line. We also support customers with technical expertise, helping you achieve the desired paint properties, facilitate innovation and add value to your business.
