Solvay’s acquisition of Cytec further expands the company’s specialty additives and surfactants portfolio with Aerosol®, high-performance agents for the coatings industry. Available in a range of physical forms, these surfactants are supreme wetting agents and are considered as an industry standard. Some key properties include quick migration to the interface, reduction in surface tension, and increased absorbency and penetration. Some grades act as foaming agents and have excellent lubricating properties. They fall into several categories, including diester sulfosuccinates, monoester sulfosuccinates, and sulfosuccinamates. Applications include foamed insulation, carpet backing, cement, wallboard, printing ink, latex systems, paint, and more. 8 / Coatings Solutions Guide Expanded alkoxylation footprint securing a Introduction reliable, sustainable and long-term source of surfactants for the coatings market Introduction Solvay’s growth strategy is designed to provide customers with superior Solvay Novecare’s latest investment to expand its surfactant footprint, complements the alkoxylation sites in the United States, Italy, India and China.
