DeMUL 229 is a nonionic emulsifier, improving shear, temperature and electrolyte stability of polymer dispersions. DeMUL 229 can also be used during the premixing phase in the production of waterborne emulsion paints, acting as a process aid and reducing grind time by faster deagglomeration of TiO2 and fillers.

Applications
  • DeMUL 229 is a nonionic emulsifier, improving shear, temperature and electrolyte stability of polymer dispersions.
  • DeMUL 229 can be used in both waterborne and solvent borne lacquers (low PVC). Can also be used to improve tinting strength, reduce rub-out, water absorption and haze effects. Also used in conjunction with other non- ionic/anionic components to improve emulsion stability and dispersity. Dosage for waterborne acrylic lacquers is 1.3-1.9% and in solvent borne alkyd lacquers 0.33- 0.66%.
  • DeMUL 229 can also be used during the premixing phase in the production of waterborne emulsion paints, acting as a process aid and reducing grind time by faster deagglomeration of TiO2 and fillers. General dosage for this purpose is 0.3%.
