PHOSPHOLAN PE169

Phospholan PE169 is a multifunctional ethoxylated phosphate ester used where dispersion, emulsification, and corrosion inhibition are needed in one additive.
Phospholan PE169 is especially valuable in pigment and coating systems because it improves pigment dispersion, color acceptance, gloss, and corrosion resistance.
Phospholan PE169's APEO-free and VOC-free profile makes it suitable for more modern waterborne and low-emission formulation approaches.

Phospholan PE169 functions mainly as an anionic surfactant, dispersing agent, emulsifier, and corrosion inhibitor.
Phospholan PE169 is APEO-free and VOC-free, making it useful in modern paints, coatings, inks, pigment dispersions, and waterborne colorant systems.

Applications of Phospholan PE169:
Phospholan PE169 is used as a dispersing and emulsifying agent for paints, pigments, resins, and colorants.
Phospholan PE169 is especially useful for dispersing inorganic pigments and improving color acceptance in both solventborne and waterborne white base paints.

Phospholan PE169 can improve gloss, color acceptance, and corrosion resistance performance in paints and coatings.
Phospholan PE169 is also used in crop protection, dispersion systems, metal cleaning, paints, coatings, inks, and cleaning applications.

Phospholan PE169 is very versatile in its use and has a proven effect in many applications such as:
Pigment dispersion in paints and colorants, water borne and solvent borne formulations
Corrosion resistance additive in steel paint and coatings
Process additive in the production of emulsion polymers, typically for paint formulations.

Phospholan PE169 has a combined emulsifying and colloidal stabilizing effect.
Phospholan PE169 is supplied as a 100% active product, in its acid form.

Phospholan PE169 can be used either as is, or by neutralization depending on the application.
The pH should be above 7 for Phospholan PE169 to be anionic, otherwise it will be nonionic.

Phospholan PE169 is used either as the single surfactant, or in combination with other nonionic, amphoteric or anionic surfactants.
Phospholan PE169 can be added to paints at levels of 0.3-0.5%.

Phospholan PE169 is capable of providing some corrosion resistance on steel.
The MEA or other amine neutralized version is the most effective in this respect.
Recommended level of addition to the paint is 0,3-0,5%.

Key Benefits of Phospholan PE169:

Universal and water borne colorants:
Good for dispersing all types of pigments, in particular inorganic pigments

Provides for good color acceptance when tinting either solvent borne or water borne white base paint Paints:
Improves color acceptance and increases gloss
Enhances corrosion resistance performance of paints and coatings

Stability and Reactivity of Phospholan PE169:

Chemical stability:
Phospholan PE169 is stable under normal recommended handling and storage conditions.

Reactivity:
Phospholan PE169 is an ethoxylated phosphate ester surfactant and may show acidic behavior because it is supplied in acid form.

Conditions to avoid:
Excessive heat, direct sunlight, freezing conditions, open flames, sparks, and prolonged exposure to incompatible materials should be avoided.

Incompatible materials:
Strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, strong acids, and highly reactive chemicals should be avoided.

Hazardous decomposition products:
Thermal decomposition or fire may produce carbon oxides, phosphorus oxides, irritating fumes, and smoke.

Handling and Storage of Phospholan PE169:

Handling:
Phospholan PE169 should be handled using good industrial hygiene and chemical-safe working practices.

Safe handling:
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Avoid breathing mist, vapor, or spray.

Ventilation:
Use adequate general ventilation in handling, mixing, and formulation areas.

Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area in the original tightly closed container.

Storage protection:
Protect from heat, direct sunlight, moisture contamination, and incompatible materials.

Container precautions:
Keep containers closed when not in use.
Avoid contamination with strong alkalis or oxidizing materials.

First Aid Measures of Phospholan PE169:

Inhalation:
Move the person to fresh air and keep them comfortable for breathing.
Get medical attention if coughing, irritation, dizziness, or breathing difficulty occurs.

Skin contact:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash the affected skin with plenty of water and soap.
Get medical advice if redness, irritation, or burning sensation develops.

Eye contact:
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
Continue rinsing and get medical attention immediately if irritation persists.

Ingestion:
Rinse mouth with water.
Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel.
Get medical advice if discomfort occurs.

Most important symptoms:
Phospholan PE169 may cause irritation to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract depending on exposure level.
Direct eye contact should be treated seriously because phosphate ester surfactants may be irritating.

Firefighting Measures of Phospholan PE169:

Suitable extinguishing media:
Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Do not use a direct high-pressure water jet because Phospholan PE169 may spread the material.
