Lanspec EMP208
Lanspec EMP208 is a nonionic surfactant produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide on a synthetic primary alcohol. This product is compatible with soaps, anionic, cationic and other nonionic surfactants, and exhibits good o/w and w/o emulsification, wetting and detergency.
Lanspec EMP208 is an excellent emulsifier for emulsion polymerization for systems such as:
Vinyl Acetate - Homopolymer
Vinyl Acetate - Acrylic
Styrene - Homopolymer
Styrene - Acrylic
Acrylic Monomers - Esters and Acids
