Paint & Coatings Surfactants

Truer color development. Higher gloss. Better surface wetting.

These are just a few of the characteristics STRODEX™ and DEXTROL® phosphate ester surfactants from Dexter Chemical can add to your waterborne paint & coatings. Trade sales paint, industrial coatings, wood coatings and more can also benefit from enhanced surface wetting, better rust inhibition and low water sensitivity with Dexter surfactants.

By combining carefully selected components with precisely controlled reaction conditions, we've created a line of surfactants that not only impart a wide range of beneficial characteristics, but can also make the raw materials in your formulation more effective. As a result, these valuable additives can replace some or all of the dispersants and wetting agents you are currently using.

Dexter Chemical has been setting the standard in phosphate ester surfactants for over 50 years, and backing it up with comprehensive technical support. If one of our regular products doesn't meet your needs, we'll customize a surfactant to your specific requirements. Either way, our global distribution network ensures prompt delivery and worldwide availability of identical product.
