Fluorosurfactant is a synthetic organofluorine chemical compound that consists of multiple fluorine atoms. It is also known as perfluorinated alkylated substances or PFASs or fluorinated surfactants. It acts as surfactants and is essential to lower the surface tension of the water. Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are man-made fluorosurfactants. Fluorosurfactant improves formulation properties of controlling foam, wetting, thermal stability, and leveling. It helps in reducing the surface tensions in paints and coatings. It is soluble in the polymers and remains active throughout the curing and drying process.

Fluorosurfactant is a long carbon chain having multiple fluorine atoms. It has property of lowering the surface tension of water. Fluorosurfactant is used to produce fluoropolymer and also used as leveling and wetting agent. It has industrial applications in stain repellents and polishes, paints, coatings, wood stains, graphic arts, caulks, adhesives, polymers, waxes, polishes, hard surfaces cleaner, floor strippers, electronics, metal plating, and in oil & gas fields as firefighting foam.
