EMULSOGEN EPA 073

EMULSOGEN EPA 073 is used as anionic emulsifier for the emulsion polymerization of monomers like pure acrylic, styrene-acrylic acid esters and vinyl acetate.
EMULSOGEN EPA 073 is containing 5 ppm a mixture of 5-Chloro-2-Methyl-2H-Isothiazol-3-one and 2-Methlyl-2H-Isothiazol-3-one (3:1)

Uses of EMULSOGEN EPA 073:

EMULSOGEN EPA 073 is an anionic surfactant for industrial applications like the following:

Emulsion Polymerization:
EMULSOGEN EPA 073 is used as an emulsifier for emulsion polymerization of monomers like styrene, acrylic acid esters, methacrylic acid esters and vinyl acetate. 

The use of EMULSOGEN EPA 073 offers the following advantages:
Production of polymer dispersions with controlled particle size.
Very low grit levels at high solid contents.

Usage levels: 0,5 – 5,0 % based on monomers.

Pigment Preparations:
EMULSOGEN EPA 073 is used as a wetting agent for inorganic and organic pigments in preparations.

EMULSOGEN EPA 073 is used in the following situations:
At high pigment loads,
At low viscosity,
High temperature stability and shelf life.

Usage levels: 15 – 80 % based on the pigments.

Emulsions of solvents, oils and waxes in water:
EMULSOGEN EPA 073 produces stable, low foaming emulsions of organic solvents, hydrocarbons, oils and waxes in water.

Usage levels: 1 – 20 g/l EMULSOGEN EPA 073 in the emulsion.

Benefits of EMULSOGEN EPA 073:

The use of EMULSOGEN EPA 073 offers the following advantages:
Low VOC,
Free of alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO),
Readily biodegradable,
Easy to handle,
FDA approved.

Performance in Emulsion Polymerization of EMULSOGEN EPA 073:
Improved stability of the monomer emulsion.
Low coagulum formation during polymerization.

Control of particle size of the polymer dispersion.
Improved viscosity of the polymer dispersions.

Performance in paint binders: increases the tinting strength of tinted emulsion paint.

Storage and Shelf Life of EMULSOGEN EPA 073:
Please keep EMULSOGEN EPA 073 in a dry and clean place. 
When EMULSOGEN EPA 073 has cooled down to less than 5°C, please heat EMULSOGEN EPA 073 up to 25°C – 30°C, after stirring EMULSOGEN EPA 073 is ready to use again. 

The shelf life is at least two years when stored in tightly closed containers at 20-25°C in a clean and aerated place. 
After this period EMULSOGEN EPA 073 should be analyzed for extension of the shelf life.

Safety of EMULSOGEN EPA 073:
Please see Material Safety Data Sheet before handling the material.
