Genapol X 407 is used as nonionic emulsifier for the emulsion polymerization of monomers like acrylates, styrene-acrylates and vinyl acetate.
Benefits
The use of Genapol X 407 offers the following advantages:
Product properties:
low VOC
free of alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO)
hazard label free
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)
Genapol X 407 is a nonionic emulsifier for emulsion polymerization.
The use of Genapol X 407 in emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate, acrylate and acrylate / styrene dispersions reduces coagulation, improves electrolyte resistance and freeze/thaw stability.
This product is added to the emulsion either before, during or after the polymerization process.
This product is also available as Genapol X 407 Terra, providing the same performance as its conventional counterpart and benefiting from a REDCert2 and ISCC Plus certified supply chain ensuring the use of biobased or renewable raw materials resulting in a significantly reduced carbon footprint and an RCI 86%.

Depending on the required properties and specific applications, sometimes surfactants are required to have different hydrophilic and lipophilic structures and relative densities.
The desired balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic can be achieved by changing the types, proportions and positions of hydrophilic or lipophilic groups in the molecular structure.
After years of research and production, many types of surfactants have been derived, and each type contains many varieties, which brings difficulties to identifying and selecting a specific variety.
Therefore, it is necessary to make a scientific classification of thousands of surfactants, which is conducive to further research and production of new varieties, and provides convenience for screening and application of surfactants.
There are many classification methods for surfactants.
They are classified according to the structure of the hydrophobic group, such as linear chain, branched chain, aromatic chain, fluorine-containing long chain, etc., according to the classification of hydrophilic groups, they are divided into carboxylate, sulfate, quaternary ammonium salt , PEO derivatives, lactones, etc., some researchers divide them into ionic, non-ionic, etc. according to the ionicity of their molecular composition, as well as various classification methods according to their water solubility, chemical structure characteristics, and raw material sources.
However, many classification methods have their limitations, and it is difficult to properly locate surfactants without overlapping conceptual connotations.
Genapol X 407 is generally believed that it is more appropriate to classify according to its chemical structure.
That is, when surfactants are dissolved in water, they are classified into ionic surfactants and non-ionic surfactants according to whether they generate ions and their electrical properties.

Storage and Shelf Life: Please keep the product in a dry and clean place.
Below 15°C Genapol X 407 starts crystallisation, after heating up at 40°C Genapol X 407
turns into a clear liquid 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
the product should be analyzed for extension of the shelf life.
