Overview

Troysol™ 200SF is a highly effective silicone-free surfactant and flow additive designed to improve substrate wetting, surface leveling, and defect reduction in a wide range of waterborne and solventborne systems. Manufactured by Arxada (formerly Troy Corporation), Troysol™ 200SF enhances the overall appearance and performance of coatings and inks by lowering surface tension without causing foam stabilization or surface haze. It is ideal for applications that demand improved gloss, flow, and uniform film formation without the drawbacks associated with silicone-based additives.

Benefits

• Silicone-Free Composition – Eliminates issues like intercoat adhesion problems and craters

• Excellent Wetting and Leveling – Enhances surface coverage and visual appeal

• Improved Gloss and Clarity – Especially beneficial in high-gloss and clear coatings

• No Surface Defects – Minimizes issues such as pinholes, fisheyes, and flow marks

• Broad Compatibility – Works with waterborne, solventborne, and UV-curable systems

• Low Usage Rate – High efficiency at low addition levels

Applications

• Architectural and Industrial Coatings – Enhances flow, leveling, and substrate wetting

• Overprint Varnishes – Ensures a smooth, glossy finish on paper and film substrates

• Printing Inks – Improves print clarity, spreadability, and uniformity

• Wood Coatings – Provides even application and defect-free surfaces

• Plastic Coatings – Promotes adhesion and smoothness on low-energy substrates

• Automotive & OEM Finishes – Contributes to high-gloss, mirror-like finishes
