Areas of application:

Stabilizer for dispersions and emulsions:
TAMOL NN 9104 AP stabilizes dispersions (e.g. of polymers, resins and paraffin) and emulsions against physical and chemical influences that could impair their stability during processing.
The addition of TAMOL NN 9104 AP also has the effect that the solid components of the dispersions remain finely dispersed if any flocculation occurs.
Fillers and pigments that are to be incorporated into dispersions or emulsions are best dispersed in water with TAMOL NN 9104 AP before processing.

Grinding aid and dispersing agent:
TAMOL NN 9104 AP can be used as grinding aid and dispersing agent in the production of water-dispersible pigments and fillers and in the production of pigment slurries and other suspensions of particulate solids in water, e.g. in the manufacture of dyes and fillers.
The effect of the dispersing agent is evident in a sharp reduction in the viscosity of a pigment dispersion if the optimum quantity is added.

This makes TAMOL NN 9104 AP possible for highly concentrated slurries to be produced which are much easier to handle, because they can be stirred and pumped more easily and with less use of energy.
Because of its low sensitivity to Ca2+ ions TAMOL NN 9104 AP is used especially in the production of calcium sulfate slurries.
In industry, TAMOL NN 9104 AP is used to disperse polishing and abrasive ingredients in powder form in emulsions for polishes and cleaners.

Precipitant for cationic compounds:
Good color lakes with basic dyes can be made with TAMOL NN 9104 AP as precipitant (laking agent).

Auxiliary for metal surface treatment:
The addition of TAMOL NN 9104 AP to hot degreasing agents and spray cleaners, e.g. spray degreasers and high-pressure cleaners, improves the stability of the solutions and increases the dirt-carrying capacity.
The cleaning effect of these agents is often improved to a crucial extent.

The performance of sealers for anodized aluminum can be improved by adding 20 – 30% of TAMOL NN 9104 AP, expressed as a proportion of the salts in the sealing solution.
TAMOL NN 9104 AP can also be employed as auxiliary brightener in alkaline silver plating baths.

Auxiliary for polymerizing rubber TAMOL NN 9104 AP can be added to the mixture of surfactants employed in emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubbers such as styrene-butadiene rubber.
TAMOL NN 9104 AP prevents emulsions from coagulating.

Auxiliary for latex processing:
Good results can be achieved with TAMOL NN 9104 AP as dispersing agent for fillers, pigments and vulcanizing agents in natural and sythetic rubber latices, and also to stabilize these dispersions against physical and chemical influences.
The unwanted increase in viscosity that occurs as a result of prevulcanization can be delayed by adding TAMOL NN 9104 AP.
