Applications

Lanphos PS6-25 A can be used across a wide range of different polymer systems and offers sub-micron particle sizes and excellent stability, examples are:
Stirene - Butyl Acrylates
Stirene acrylic copolymer dispersions are used in a variety of industrial and consumer end-use applications, including:

• Architectural decorative coatings
• Adhesives and fillers
• Glass fiber binder applications, such as wall coverings

Shear Stability Analysis	Particle size initial μm	Particle size after shear μm
Typical system - without stabilizer	0.207	99.8
Lanphos PS10	0.175	0.261

Vinyl Acetate Homopolymer (PVA)
Polyvinyl acetate homopolymer emulsions, often called PVAc or occasionally PVA homopolymers. Polyvinyl acetate is synthesized by the emulsion polymerisation of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM).

PVAc emulsions are best known for their use in wood glues or school glues due to their strong adhesion properties. However, PVAc
emulsions are also widely used in many industrial and consumer end-use applications:

• Water-based adhesives
• Carpet backings
• Paper and paperboard coatings
• Carpet backings
• Building and construction products

Shear Stability Analysis	Particle size initial μm	Particle size after shear μm
Typical system - without stabilizer	0.159	59.3
Lanphos PS10	0.158	26.3
