Improved substrate wetting across diverse surfaces
Enhanced pigment dispersion and stability
Reduced film defects and application variability
Coatings surfactants drive interfacial effects that create large performance differences in coatings. Wetting, dispersion, and film formation determine whether coatings apply evenly, adhere properly, and perform over time. Locus’ Amphi® biosurfactants improve interfacial behavior to enhance film quality, reduce defects, and deliver more consistent coating performance across substrates and conditions.
Coating performance often breaks down at the interface, where conventional surfactants struggle to maintain consistency across substrates and conditions. Poor wetting and unstable dispersion lead to uneven coverage, film defects, and reduced adhesion, while sensitivity to formulation and drying conditions further amplifies performance variability. The result is coatings that look acceptable in controlled conditions but fail to deliver consistent, reliable performance across real-world substrates and environments.
Amphi® biosurfactants improve coating performance by controlling wetting, dispersion and film formation, enabling more consistent results while reducing formulation complexity and total surfactant load.
