Abstract: Water-soluble surfactant compositions comprising (A) 2,5,8,11-tetramethyl-6-dodecyne-5,8-diol and/or ethoxylate thereof and (B) a polyoxy(ethylene-propylene) block polymer and exhibiting a dynamic surface tension of up to 50 mN/m both at 1 Hz and 10 Hz in a 0.1 wt % aqueous solution thereof have such surface tension-reducing effects that when added to inks and paper coatings, they provide a surface tension comparable to those of fluorochemical and silicone surfactants. Because of a low dynamic surface tension, the surfactant compositions develop excellent substrate wetting, substrate penetrating and anti-foaming capabilities to comply with high-speed printing and coating, and overcome the environmental problem.
