Surfactants for the Emulsion Polymerization
There are a variety of attributes that are of high importance for the emulsion polymerization process and the final application. Manufacturers of latex dispersions expect components and raw materials to provide a range of properties, such as:
- Easy handling
- Safe use and low impact on the environment
- High biodegradability
- Global availability
We offer a broad range of surfactants to be used as emulsifiers in the emulsion polymerization process. Products from the EMULSOGEN™, GENAPOL™, HOSTAPUR™, HOSTAPHAT™ and HOSTAPAL™ series control the particle size and particle size distribution, improve electrolyte, freeze-thaw stability and reduce grid formation.
