Application (Polymerization)
HYDROPALAT WE 3112 is an emulsifier for the manufacture of emulsion polymers, especially for
-acrylate homo and copolymers,
-styrene-acrylate copolymers,
-vinyl acetate homo and copolymers,
-vinyl acetate/versatic acid vinyl ester (Veova) copolymers.

Dosage (Polymerization)
HYDROPALAT WE 3112 may be mixed with anionic and non-ionic emulsifiers in any ratio. Even in very hard water it does not cause formation of lime soap.
The incorporation amount depends on the type and quantity of the initial monomers as well as on the polymerization process and the desired properties of the polymer dispersion.
In general, 0.5 to 2.5% of HYDROPALAT WE 3112 (100% active substance) is used, calculated on monomers weight.

HYDROPALAT WE 3112 is suitable as a single emulsifier but a combination with non-ionic coemulsifiers of the Disponil NP, Disponil AAP, Disponil LS or Disponil TA type is possible.

Application (paints)
HYDROPALAT WE 3112 is a highly active wetting and dispersing agent for emulsion paints based on PVAc, polyacrylates and their copolymers.
HYDROPALAT WE 3112 facilitates the incorporation of difficult-to-wet pigments such as Hansa yellow, toluidene red and phthalocyanine pigments.
HYDROPALAT WE 3112 improves substrate adhesion and enhances the penetration of wood coatings.

HYDROPALAT WE 3112 may also be used in the manufacture of tinting pastes to ensure their easy and uniform dispersion into emulsion paints.

Dosage (paints)
In paints: approx. 0.3%,calculated on total batch
In tinting pastes: 5 - 10%, calculated on total paste
