Surfactants

Custom Surfactant Manufacturing

In cooperation with our parent company, Takemoto, Goulston offers a variety of high-purity, custom surfactants and esters for use in a number of sensitive processes including plate chemistries, photo chemistries, semiconductors and flat panel display manufacture.

Our surfactants and formulated blends encompass a wide range of structural and chemical properties including anionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactant chemistries utilizing both branched and linear structures.

Our performance chemistries include

• Antistats
• Emulsifiers
• Low-foaming surfactants
• Dispersants

Custom-made, high-purity materials with metal content below 500 parts per billion (ppb) are also available.

Industrial and Commercial Surfactant Applications

• Pigment dispersants and wetting agents for ink jet printing
• Plate cleaners, fountain solution and developer for photo film
• Photoresists for slit, spin and spinless coatings
• Top anti-reflective coatings for FPD manufacture
• Bottom anti-refractive coatings for FPD manufacture
