HITENOL AR-20

Polymerizable surfactant, HITENOL series was introduced to the industry in the 1980s. Polymerizable surfactants, also known as reactive surfactants bear reactive group that undergoes radical polymerization. They act in emulsion polymerization process both as emulsifiers and as functional monomers. They copolymerize with various monomers and increases the mechanical, chemical and freeze thaw stability of the latex, reduces foaming of the latex, and improves water resistance of the polymer film.

Benefits
(1) Low foaming and fast defoaming of latex
(2) Enhanced mechanical and chemical stability of latex
(3) Improved water resistance of polymer film
(4) Increased adhesion of polymer film
