Lanphos PS5 is an effective APE free surfactant and wetting agent for emulsion polymerisation and water bourne emulsion paints. The main advantage of a phosphate ester over a conventional anionic in emulsion polymerisation is it’s excellent stability in high concentrations of acid, alkali and electrolytes, and its ability to impart corrosion inhibition in latex and in-can corrosion in emulsion coatings.

Functions: Surfactant, Wetting Agent

Labeling Claims: APE-free

Applicable Processes: Acrylic Polymerization, Emulsion Polymerization, Styrene Acrylic Manufacturing, Vinyl Acrylic Manufacturing

Applications & Uses

Applications
  • Lanphos PS5 is an effective APE free surfactant and wetting agent for emulsion polymerisation and water bourne emulsion paints.
  • The main advantage of a phosphate ester over a conventional anionic in emulsion polymerisation is it’s excellent stability in high concentrations of acid, alkali and electrolytes, and its ability to impart corrosion inhibition in latex and in-can corrosion in emulsion coatings.
  • Lanphos PS5 is an excellent emulsifier for emulsion polymerization systems such as:
  • Vinyl Acrylic Stirene
  • Acrylic Acrylic Monomers
  • Esters and Acids
  • In water bourne emulsion paints, Lanphos PS5 enhances color development and improves gloss in gloss formulations.
  • Lanphos PS5 has also been shown to improve efflorescent resistance.
