Surfeco® Plus is a super-spreading surfactant formulated with trisiloxane ethoxylate, a silicone polyether copolymer. It exhibits remarkable super-spreading properties in aqueous solutions while maintaining stability within formulations. This surfactant effectively reduces surface tension in aqueous solutions, ensuring stable effects throughout storage periods. It excels in super-spreading and wetting applications, significantly lowering surface tension compared to conventional surfactants.
