STRODEX PK-OVOC is a phosphate ester surfactant designed to impart improved gloss and color acceptance in waterborne formulations. STRODEX PK-OVOC surfactant does not contain any alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEOs). It is particularly beneficial at wetting pigments including TiO2, iron oxides and common extenders. STRODEX PK-OVOC surfactant improves spreading and uniform coverage of formulations on difficult to wet surfaces. It increases gloss, improves freeze-thaw resistance, reduces hazing, helps prevent crawling, cratering & pinholing and enhances color properties. STRODEX PK-OVOC surfactant also exhibits low water sensitivity, improved substrate wetting and inhibition of flash & nail head rusting.
