POLYSTEP® A-18-S is an economical and versatile biodegradable surfactant supplied at a high ph. It finds use in the manufacture of vinyl chloride latex, acrylics, and styrene acrylic latexes. It exhibits better hydrolytic stability than sls (sodium lauryl sulfate) and performs effectively at low levels.

POLYSTEP® A-18K is a sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate that functions as an emulsifier in latex production. Its kosher certification attests to its compliance with dietary requirements. In the domain of emulsion polymerization, it plays a key role in forming and stabilizing latex emulsions, contributing to the production of top-quality latex-based products.

POLYSTEP® A-15/30K holds significance in latex manufacture, particularly with vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, and styrene-butadiene. Its exceptional thermal and hydrolytic stability makes it a reliable choice for latex production within the emulsion polymerization market. Its application finds its place in latex manufacturing.

POLYSTEP® A-15 F stands as an anionic surfactant known for its remarkable thermal and hydrolytic stability. Primarily utilized in latex production, it belongs to the chemical group of alkyl benzene sulfonates and finds its place in the emulsion polymerization market.

POLYSTEP® A-16 is an anionic surfactant employed in latex manufacture, compatible with vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, and styrene-butadiene. In combination with nonionic surfactants like polystep® f-6, it complements styrene-butadiene. In acrylic latexes, it pairs with higher nonionic surfactants such as polystep® f-9. It finds relevance in vinyl acetate latexes, especially those rich in protective colloid, contributing to the formation and stabilization of latex emulsions.

POLYSTEP® A-16-22 serves as an anionic surfactant with a primary focus on latex production. Its effectiveness shines, particularly when used in conjunction with vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride. Its use extends to the manufacture of styrene butadiene rubber (sbr) and styrene acrylic latexes.

POLYSTEP® A-16-17 is a branched sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate with a central role as an emulsifier in latex production. Its kosher certification underlines its alignment with dietary needs. In the domain of emulsion polymerization, it supports the creation and stability of latex emulsions, resulting in the production of high-quality latex-based products.

Libratex NSA is a slightly viscous brown liquid formulation composed of dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid (Narrow cut). This versatile product, along with its various neutralized forms, plays a crucial role as a foaming agent, wetting agent, and emulsifier. It finds widespread use in detergents and emulsion polymerization processes, contributing to the production of various products across industries.

Rodys O is the sodium salt of naphthalenesulfonic acid polycondensates with formaldehyde, offered as a 40% aqueous solution. The technology of Rodys O production allows to obtain a product containing trace amounts of free formaldehyde and naphthalene. As a result, it neither has an environmental classification, nor does it affect the content of free aromatic hydrocarbons in the products for which it is used. Among the Rodys product series, Rodys O has a high degree of polymerization.
