Nonionic emulsifier for emulsion polymerization
Genapol X 407 MB Terra
Edition Date :
March 04, 2026
Genapol X 407 Terra is used as nonionic emulsifier for the emulsion polymerization of monomers like acrylates, styrene-acrylates and vinyl acetate.
It provides the same performance as its conventional counterpart.
As member of the Terra-family, the purpose of the mass-balanced supply chain model is to use biobased or renewable raw materials. The mass balance is certified according to the ISCC Plus standards for the chemical industry.
This means:
- Use of raw materials specified by the EU directive 2015/1513/EC Annex IX
- No plastic waste
- No animal origin
- No palm oil/palm kernel oil
Additional value:
- Replacement of fossil raw materials
- Reduced product carbon footprint compared to same materials made from fossil based raw materials
