Lanspec EMP102

Lanspec EMP102 is a nonionic surfactant produced through the ethoxylation of a synthetic primary alcohol. It is designed to offer excellent compatibility with soaps, anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants, providing a high degree of formulation flexibility across a wide range of systems. The product exhibits effective oil‑in‑water and
water‑in‑oil emulsification, alongside strong wetting and detergency properties, enabling efficient soil penetration and stabilisation of dispersed phases.

Lanspec EMP102 is particularly well suited for use as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerisation processes, including vinyl acetate and acrylic polymer systems, where it supports good emulsion stability and particle‑size control. Its balanced hydrophilic–lipophilic profile makes it suitable for industrial, cleaning, and emulsification applications
where consistent performance, broad compatibility, and reliable surfactant behaviour are required.

Applications

​

Emulsion Polymerisation
Lanspec EMP102 functions as an efficient nonionic emulsifier for a wide range of polymer systems, offering excellent emulsion stability and particle‑size control.
Suitable for systems such as:
- Vinyl acetate
- Acrylic and styrene‑acrylic polymers
- Vinyl acrylic
- VAE (vinyl acetate–ethylene)
- Other waterborne latex systems

Agrochemical Formulations
- Used in emulsifiable concentrates (ECs), oil‑based dispersions, and tank‑mix adjuvant systems, where it provides effective emulsification of hydrophobic active ingredients and improves formulation stability.

Metalworking Fluids
- Functions as an oil‑in‑water emulsifier, wetting agent, and detergency booster, enhancing fluid stability, metal surface wetting, and cleaning performance in metalworking applications.

Paints, Inks & Coatings
- Contributes to pigment wetting, emulsion stability, and improved flow and levelling in waterborne coatings, inks, and related formulations where nonionic emulsifiers are preferred.
