Historically, drastically reducing surface tension was a job for fluorinated surfactants, such as perfluoroalkyl surfactants (or PFAS), but these solutions have come under scrutiny due to environmental and human health concerns.

AFFF -Lösungen der nächsten Generation hängen von Silikon -Tensiden ab

AFFF formulators are now turning their attention to silicone surfactants, more specifically trisiloxane alkoxylates, which have shown exceptional performance in AFFF solutions, as well as spreading applications in the agriculture, coating, paints and textile industries.

Silikon -Tenside können die wässrige Oberflächenspannung dramatisch reduzieren, was zu ausgezeichnetem Ausbreiten und stabilen Schäumen mit ausgedehnter Haltbarkeit führt.
