Solvay RHODAFAC® RS-960 Surfactant

Description: Most hydrophilic of RE series. Useful in emulsion polymerization and oil-emulsion print pastes. Dispersant and dye assistant.Chemical Name: POLYOXYETHYLENE TRIDECYL ETHER PHOSPHATECAS: 9046-01-9 Available in: Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America and North AmericaApplications: RHODAFAC® RS-960 can be used to prepare a broad range of commercial emulsion polymers including acrylics, vinyl-acrylics and styrene-acrylics. Such polymers find application in latex paints, adhesives, paper coatings and textiles. RHODAFAC® RS-960 is typically converted to its salt form (sodium, ammonium, amine) for use in emulsion polymerization. This is usually done in-situ by neutralization of the diluted phosphate ester with the desired base. Films of polymers made with RHODAFAC® RS-960 exhibit enhanced corrosion resistance and superior heat and light stability, which makes them especially desirable for metal coating applications. The versatility of RHODAFAC® RS-960 allows it to be used with a wide range of polymerization techniques, including thermal and redox processes. When properly used in conjunction with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, RHODAFAC® RS-960 allows for the trouble-free commercial production of extremely stable emulsion polymers.Information provided by Rhodia, Rhodia has been acquired by Solvay.
