TEXAPON P

Use: TEXAPON P is Emulsifier for emulsion polymerization, wetting agent  for dispersion paints

Composition:  Mixture of highly effective surface-active substances.

Specification Viscosity at 20 °C 400 – 600 mPa·s (DIN 53015)

pH-value (10% 6.5 – 7 aqueous solution / Q-P 1205.2)

Anionic surfacant 20.5 – 22.5 (Q-C 3602.0)

Additional data 

Appearance:  clear, yellowish liquid of medium viscosity

Density at 20 °C: approx. 1.05 g/cm³

Ionic character: anionic/non-ionic

Sulphate < 1.0%

Chloride < 0.5%

Application (Polymerization)

TEXAPON P is an emulsifier for the manufacture of emulsion polymers, especially for

acrylate homo and copolymers,

styrene-acrylate copolymers,

vinyl acetate homo and copolymers,

vinyl acetate/versatic acid vinyl ester (Veova)  copolymers.

Dosage (Polymerization)

TEXAPON P may be mixed with anionic and non-ionic emulsifiers in any ratio. Even in very hard  water it does not cause formation of lime soap.

The incorporation amount depends on the type and  quantity of the initial monomers as well as on the  polymerization process and the desired properties of the polymer dispersion.

In general, 0.5 to 2.5% of TEXAPON P (100% active substance) is used, calculated on monomers weight.

TEXAPON P is suitable as a single emulsifier but a combination with non-ionic coemulsifiers of the  Disponil NP, Disponil AAP, Disponil LS or Disponil  TA type is possible.

Application (paints)

TEXAPON P is a highly active wetting and dispersing agent for emulsion paints based on PVAc,  polyacrylates and their copolymers. 

It facilitates the incorporation of difficult-to-wet pigments such as Hansa yellow, toluidene red and phthalocyanine  pigments. 

It improves substrate adhesion and enhances the penetration of wood coatings. 

TEXAPON P may also be used in the manufacture of tinting pastes to ensure their easy and uniform dispersion into emulsion paints.

Dosage (paints)

In paints: approx. 0.3%,calculated on total batch

In tinting pastes: 5 – 10%, calculated on total paste

Regulatory Status DSL, TSCA, EINECS, AICS, ENCS/MITI
