Lanspec EMP208

Lanspec EMP208 is a nonionic surfactant produced through the ethoxylation of a synthetic primary alcohol. It is compatible with soaps, anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants, offering good formulation flexibility across a wide range of systems. The product provides effective oil‑in‑water and water‑in‑oil emulsification, along
with reliable wetting and detergency performance, supporting efficient dispersion and stabilisation in aqueous formulations.
 

Lanspec EMP208 is particularly suitable for use as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerisation processes, including vinyl acetate, styrene‑acrylic, and acrylic polymer systems, where it contributes to good emulsion stability and particle‑size control. Its relatively high hydrophilic–lipophilic balance makes it well suited for applications requiring strong emulsification and stabilisation performance in industrial and polymerisation environments.
