GENAPOL O 250

Genapol O 250 is a nonionic emulsifier for the chemical industry.

Genapol O 250 is 100% bio-based with a fully segregated supply chain and a Renewable Carbon Index (RCI) of 100%.

CHEMICAL NAME:
Oleth-25

CHEMICAL TYPE:
Ethoxylates

Genapol O 250 is a nonionic emulsifier for the chemical industry. 
Genapol O 250 is composed of cetyl/oleyl polyethylene glycol ether with 25 moles ethylene oxide. 
Genapol O 250 is used in emulsion polymerization of the following monomers: vinyl acetate together with acrylates, vinyl chloride or ethylene; and acrylate and acrylate / styrene dispersions.

Genapol O 250 prevents the polymer dispersion from coagulation and improves electrolyte resistance and freeze/thaw stability. 
Genapol O 250 is also used as a dispersing agent for pigment preparations and as an emulsifier for waxes and organic solvents.

Composition of Genapol O 250:
Cetyl/oleyl polyethylene glycol ether with 25 moles ethylene oxide

Product properties of Genapol O 250:

white wax

pH value (DIN EN 1262), 1% in water:
6 - 8

HLB value:
about 16

Melting point:
about 40 - 50°C

Solubility in water:
At 25°C aqueous solutions of Genapol O 250 form a highly viscous to waxy like gel in the range of 100 to about 20% active substance in water. 
To prepare a liquid solution, melt Genapol O 250 at 80°C and later dissolve the product under stirring in water at 80°C.
At room temperature aqueous solutions of Genapol O 250 are only clear, free-flowing liquids with 0 - 20% active material.

Uses of Genapol O 250:
