CytoN 562 is a non-reactive, ethylene glycol based polymeric surfactant compatible with water and most polar solvent-based inks, coatings, resists and emulsions. 562 is non-ionic and provides low surface tension in aqueous and polar coating systems. This is an excellent wetting, leveling and spreading agent for a variety of waterborne, high-solids and radiation curable coatings. CytoN 562 may replace Fluorad FC-430, FC-4430, or FC-171.

Comparing CytoN 561 and 562: CytoN 560 series products have four pendant groups on a polypropylene glycol backbone. CytoN 561 has two pendant groups and two polyethylene glycol groups. For CytoN 562 the ratio is one pendant group and three polyethylene glycol groups. Therefore, CytoN 561 has a slightly lower surface energy than CytoN 562.
Applications: CytoN 562 is used as an additive in architectural coatings, inks, floor polishes, waxes, high solids coatings, water reducible coatings, radiation curable coatings and photoresists. Recommended use level is between 0.05% and 1.0% active surfactant. However, use level can vary depending on the application and concentration of other additives and solvents in the formulation.
Regulatory: CytoN 562 is compliant with the chemical notification requirements of TSCA and REACH.
