POLYSTEP B-27 is used in latex manufacture; it aids in the control of latex particle size. It is useful in most polymer systems including styrene acrylic, styrene butadiene, vinyl chloride and all acrylic latex emulsions. POLYSTEP B-27 can be used as the sole surfactant or in conjunction with a nonionic.

All components of POLYSTEP B-27 are listed in the following countries; the registration numbers for the active ingredients are included in parentheses: United States (TSCA 9014-90-8), Europe (EINECS - polymer exemption), Japan (ENCS 7-160 or 7-1338), Korea (ECL Serial No. KE-32525), Canada (DSL 9014-90-8), China (IECSC 9014-90-8), Australia (AICS 9014-90-8), and Philippines (PICCS 9014-90-8).
Safety & Health
- Toxicity
POLYSTEP B-27 is practically non-toxic orally (LD₅₀ = 10,000 mg/kg b.w.) and when tested undiluted is severely irritating to skin and eyes.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
POLYSTEP B-27 is available in bulk and in 55 gallon drums (450 lb/204 kg).
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling POLYSTEP B-27. Avoid contact with eyes, nose or prolonged contact with the skin. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
- It is recommended that POLYSTEP B-27 be stored in sealed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. If material is frozen it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous before use.
- Bulk Storage Information: POLYSTEP B-27 should be stored in 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner. Mild agitation is recommended while storing to maintain homogeneity. Material should be stored between 80 - 90°F. Use mild heat if needed avoiding the use of steam since it may impact product integrity. Recirculated warm water is recommended. Pumps, pipes and transfer lines should be 316 stainless steel.
- Workplace Exposure
Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
