Nonionic emulsifier for emulsion polymerization
Uses of Emulsogen EPN 403:
Emulsogen EPN 403 is used in polymerization of vinyl acetate together with other vinyl esters, acrylates, vinyl chloride and ethylene, for acrylate and styrene / acrylate dispersions and for butadiene / styrene latex.
The use of Emulsogen EPN 403 reduces coagulation and improves electrolyte resistance and freeze/thaw stability.
Emulsogen EPN 403 is added either during or after polymerization.
Applications of Emulsogen EPN 403:
Emulsion polymerization
Storage and Shelf Life of Emulsogen EPN 403:
Please keep Emulsogen EPN 403 in a dry and clean place.
When Emulsogen EPN 403 has cooled down to less than 0°C, please heat it up to 20°C – 25 °C, after stirring Emulsogen EPN 403 is ready to use again.
The material should be stored in tightly closed containers at 20-25°C in a clean and aerated place.
The shelf life is 730 days after the date of production.
After expiration, Emulsogen EPN 403 should be analyzed for extension of the shelf life.
