Ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block polymers
Emulsogen ® 4084 is used in emulsion polymerization of polyvinyl
acetate, acrylate and styrene/acrylate dispersions to stabilize the
rheological behaviour of the polymer dispersions and to improve
the electrolyte and shear stability.

Low-foaming Genapol ® PF 10, 20, 40 and 80 grades are used as a
surfactant and defoamer in detergents and cleaning agents. They are
also used as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization, improving the
emulsion stability and preventing foam during the spray drying of
dispersion powders. As a wetting agent in aqueous coatings, they
reduce the surface tension of the coating formulation, improve the
stability and shelf life and the adhesion of the coating onto the coated
surface. They also serve as intermediate in chemical reactions.

Because of its interfacial activity and low foaming behaviour, Genapol ®
ED 3030 is especially suitable for the manufacture of low foaming
cleaners. Due to its good lubricity, Genapol ® B is used for the manufacture
of aqueous metal working fluids in combination with suitable
corrosion inhibitors. Genapol ® ED 3030 is resistant against water
hardness, metal salts, acids and alkalis in practice-orientated concentrations.

Genapol ® PF 80 Powder can also be added to solid admixtures in
the construction industry to improve the wetting and redispersing of
the powder, resulting in higher plastification and improved workability
and overall performance of the plaster. Genapol ® PF 30 can be applied
as a wetting agent and emulsifier for oils, waxes, paraffin and silicones,
as emulsifier for emulsion polymerization of acrylic monomers,
styrene and vinyl acetate, as lubricant for polymers and resin processing
and as reactant for polyethers, polyesters and polyurethanes.
sing agent for aqueous paints and coatings, in particular for white
emulsion paints tinted with waterborne pigment preparations. It functions
as paint stabilizer and tinting strength enhancer, improving
the compatibility of pigments and minerals with polymers and binders
and preventing rub-out effects and flocculation of organic pigments
during drying of the paint film. Genapol ® PN 30 is a low foaming
lubricant for synthetic metal working fluids.
