EMULSOGEN LCN 088

EMULSOGEN LCN 088


CAS: 169107-21-5 


Chemical nature: Fatty alcohol polyglycol ether in aqueous solution
Composition Alkyl polyethylene glycol ether with 8 mole ethylene oxide


Product Function: Emulsifier
Applications: Emulsion polymerization

Emulsogen LCN 088 is used as nonionic emulsifier for the emulsion polymerization of E-PVC. 

Benefits
The use of Emulsogen LCN 088 offers the following advantages:

Product properties:

-low VOC
-free of alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO)
-readily biodegradable
-easy to handle (liquid material; soluble in water)
-FDA approved

Performance in emulsion polymerization:

-maintains low viscosity of polymer emulsion at different shear rates
-enhanced electrolyte stability
-improved shelf life (high freeze thaw stability)


Use
Emulsogen LCN 088 is used as a wetting agent for industrial applications in aqueous solutions of 1 - 5 g/l and as dispersing agent in paints and coatings for fillers and pigments in concentrations of 0,1 - 1,0 %.
Emulsogen LCN 088 is used as emulsifier for O/W - emulsions of oils, fats, silicon oils and polyolefin wax emulsions in concentrations of 5- 10 % and for emulsion polymerization in recommended levels of 1 - 2 % based on monomers.


Adhesives
Powerful wetting agents for paper adhesives. 
Emulsogen LCN 088 improves the penetration of the substrate and the spreading and wetting of the adhesive on hydrophobic surfaces like OPP, PVC, PE films, useful for paper adhesives and cardboards and PSA based on acrylics and SB latex. 
Emulsogen LCN 088 is used in construction adhesives and sealants to improve the wetting on hydrophobic surfaces, coarse particles, lime, cement, minerals and all construction materials, e.g. glass fibers, melamine resins, wood and plastics. 
Dosage: 0,1 – 0,2% on the formulation.
