In my waterborne coatings, I add surfactants to get good wetting and hope that I do not promote foam and water sensitivity. Do surfactants influence other properties such as latex film formation and polymer glass transition temperature (Tg)?
I am formulating an industrial maintenance primer from a latex paint and have found that as I increase the anticorrosive pigment level, I get paint instability. Why does this occur and can Surfynol® additives help here?
