Lanphos PS6-25A

Lanphos PS6‑25A is a high‑performance anionic emulsifier specifically developed for emulsion polymerisation applications. As a powerful primary emulsifier, it can be used across a wide range of polymer systems without the need for a secondary stabilising surfactant, offering formulators a simple and effective route to highly stable latex systems.

The product is designed to produce extremely small polymer particle sizes while providing an in‑built stabilisation mechanism that helps prevent re‑agglomeration of polymer particles. This enhanced stabilisation contributes to excellent latex stability and improved shear resistance throughout the polymerisation process.

Lanphos PS6‑25A is suitable for use in a broad range of polymer chemistries, including styrene‑acrylic, vinyl acetate homopolymer, and pure acrylic systems. The product is APE‑free and VOC‑free, making it an attractive choice for modern emulsion polymerisation formulations where performance, stability, and regulatory compliance are key requirements.
