Applications & Uses

Applications

Nonionic surfactant used mainly as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization of acrylic acid esters, styrene and vinylic monomers. Product can be used alone or with the combination of other anionic surface active agents. ROKAnol IT20 is good alternative for higher molecular weight nonylphenol ethoxylates in emulsion polymerization process. It can be used as an ingredient of cleaning and washing agents in industrial applications. It can be used in oxidizng, reducing and hard water environments. Product is active is cold water, in an acid and neutral bath, as well as in diluted alkalies.
