These nonionic surfactants can be used in conjunction with an anionic surfactant to produce latexes. It can also be post added to a latex system to assist with mechanical stability as well as with applications formulation. This series of products are liquid. These surfactants show promise as alternates to APE containing surfactants.

Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
POLYSTEP TD-3, TD-6, TD-129 and TD-189 are available in bulk quantities. POLYSTEP TD-12 and TD-18 are available in drum quantities (450 lb, 205 kg).
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling POLYSTEP TD series surfactants. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
- Bulk Storage Information: Stainless steel and glass fiber-reinforced polyester tanks are recommended. Many oven-cured phenolic and epoxy/phenolic linings may also be used. Elevated storage temperature may be desirable to maintain ease of pumping. Temperatures up to 130 °F (54 °C) can be maintained for long periods of time without degradation of the product.
- POLYSTEP TD-3 and TD-6 which have been stored in drums at temperatures below 50 °F (10 °C) may thicken or solidify. POLYSTEP TD-129 and TD-189 are solid at temperatures below 70 °F (21 °C) and 85 °F (29 °C) respectively. They may be fluidized by warming with a drum heater or in a steam room. Drums should be vented prior to heating to avoid excessive pressure build up. Product temperatures over 130 °F (54 °C) are not recommended.
