I would like to mix a Surfactant with an Acrylic Resin to be sprayed out of an Aerosol Can, similar to Silly String. However, unlike Silly String, I would like the plastic to harden more and quicker in time. I understand that Silly String uses a sorbitan trioleate that has an HLB value of 1.8. Are there any types of Surfactants that will cause the plastic to harden more and quicker. Lower HLB?
