Venadol 104 gemini surfactant

Venadol™ 104 is a 100% active gemini surfactant offering foam control, surface tension reduction, and viscosity stabilization. Applications include inks, paints, coatings, adhesives, pigment dispersion, dye processing, agriculture, cement, and metal-working lubricants. Solution grades improve handling convenience for end users.

Ethoxylated Venadol surfactants

Ethoxylated Venadol™ grades provide superior wettability and coatability on difficult substrates with low dynamic surface tension and unique low-foam character—removing fine bubbles and pinholes in spray and roll coat lines. APEO-free gemini structures are less affected by silicone anti-foam interference, supporting re-coatable water-borne systems.

Venadol defoamers

Venadol™ defoamers are formulated nonionic defoamers based on Venadol™ 104—delivering long-lasting foam control and micro-foam elimination without typical cratering side effects. They provide substrate wetting and synergy with other defoaming additives.

Usage recommendations

Mix well before use. Add Venadol™ after other surface-active additives; add pigments and fillers afterward for optimal wetting and foam suppression. Typical dosage 0.2–2% of total formulation—confirm by practical testing. See paint and coating chemicals and Venadol guide.
