Products in Laundry & Fabric Care: Phosphate Esters

MERPOL® A is an alcohol phosphate that offers attributes such as low foam generation, effective wetting, and reliable emulsification. It serves a range of applications, including metal processing, composite handling, printing ink manufacturing, and coatings. Classified within the chemical group of alcohol phosphate esters, its functions encompass being a plastic anti-static agent, pigment dispersant, and textile lubricating agent.

Lanphos TEP4K is a phosphate ester manufactured using polyphosphoric acid resulting in a product that is predominantly mono-ester. The main advantage of a phosphate ester over a conventional anionic is it’s excellent stability in high concentration of acid, alkali and electrolyte. Lanphos TEP4K is supplied in neutral form as a potassium salt and behaves as a hydrotrope for the solubilisation of both anionic and nonionic surfactants into high concentration of electrolyte.

Lanphos PE36 is a powerful emulsifier that can be used across a wide range of polymer systems and more importantly is used as a primary emulsifier without the need for a secondary surfactant to stabilize the system. As a versatile emulsifier. this is the first choice for any formulator. As well as providing extremely small particle sizes it has an in-built stabilizer system to prevent re-agglomeration of polymer particles. Lanphos PE36 is supplied in the free acid form and is typically neutralized before use to produce the salt of choice for individual applications.

Lanphos PE35 is a phosphate ester manufactured using phosphorous pentoxide to give a product that contains both mono and di-esters. The main advantage of a phosphate ester over a conventional anionic is it’s excellent stability in high concentration of acid,alkali and electrolyte.

Lanphos PE107 is a phosphate ester specifically developed to provide excellent stability in high alkali and electrolyte systems, providing excellent detergency wetting and corrosion inhibition. Lanphos PE107 can also be used to couple nonionic surfactants into liquid alkali detergents.

Cola®Fax 3660 is an anionic surfactant for industrial applications that provides good wetting, detergency, hydrotroping, and electrolyte stability. It is fully biodegradable. It is useful in hard surface cleaning, emulsion polymer emulsifier, vehicle cleaners, corrosion inhibitors, lubricant anti-wear properties and textile wetting.
