Flow and leveling agents

Normally, fluorosurfactants used as wetting, flow and leveling agents are fugitive. This implies that they no longer serve a useful function after performing their primary function and can move about the bulk or surface of any object into which they are formulated. Ultimately, the final residence of a fluorochemical in this situation will be decided by the kinetics and thermodynamics of the particular formulation. This can have undesirable consequences as the unexpected presence of a surfactant at an inappropriate interface can... [Pg.233]
