PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

HEXAFOR® surfactants are highly effective and efficient fluorinated surface-active agents based on short perfluorinated chains. They are especially designed to provide both rapid spreading, wetting and levelling performances to a broad range of water and solvent borne systems such as detergents, paints, varnishes, inks, waxes, floor polishes, adhesives, battery and a variety of specialty applications. The use of HEXAFOR® surfactants allows the development of formulations showing improved performances.

PROPERTIES:

• Reduce surface tension • Wetting • Emulsifying• Spreading• Foaming control• Levelling• Antifogging• Anticorrosion• Overcome surface contamination defects• Dirt pick up resistant• Open time improvement• Anti-Blocking• Low foam formation

MAFLON® was founded in 1996 thanks to a research project developed together with the Fluorine Chemistry Laboratory of Padua University.

A research project focused, since the very beginning, on the fluorinated products and their application. MAFLON® has the appropriate coating solution for surfaces such as leather, textile, stone, tile, wood, providing a durable and transparent treatment while creating a highly effective protective barrier against different agents as oils, water, coffee, food products and beverages.

MAFLON® also produces a wide range of fluorinated surface active agents to give excellent wetting, spreading and leveling properties in coating, cleaners, waxes systems..

Fluorosurfactants may be also used in polishes, inks, adhesives and in all applications where surface tension is a fundamental parameter to determine the performance of the final products.

Today MAFLON® includes a research team leading the R&D activities cooperating closely with some of the most important Universities specialised in Fluorine Chemistry. All the R&D activities are developed in the laboratories located in the Headquarters in northern Italy.
