Sulfates and Sulfonates TRITON XN-45S Surfactants TRITON X-200 Surfactants TRITON XN-45S Surfactant is an outstanding anionic emulsifier and stabilizer that offers excellent particle size control in emulsion polymerization. TRITON X-200 Surfactant is an excellent emulsion polymerization emulsifier and stabilizer. Specialty Surfactant TRITON CA Surfactants TRITON CA Surfactant is a superb pigment stabilizer with the unique ability to correct many colorant acceptance problems resulting from unknown pigment instability issues in paint production environments. TRITON CA Surfactant is an outstanding wetting and stabilizer for pigment and colorant dispersions. It improves color acceptance in even marginal, unstable pigment systems. Its broad HLB range makes this versatile surfactant suitable for use in most paint systems. TRITON CA Surfactant is also an effective wetting agent for pigments and extenders. EO/PO Copolymers TERGITOL XD, XH, XJ Surfactants TERGITOL L Series Surfactants TERGITOL XD, TERGITOL XH, TERGITOL XJ and TERGITOL L Series Surfactants are efficient emulsifiers and stabilizers for a broad range of materials, including aromatic and chlorinated solvents. TERGITOL XD Surfactant provides excellent pigment and colorant stabilization especially for concentrated dispersions such as carbon black and other very small particle pigments. Nonylphenol Ethoxylates TERGITOL NP Series Surfactants TERGITOL NP Series Surfactants cover a wide range of ethoxylation and HLB values. They are used as emulsifiers, wetting agents and dispersants in a variety of applications, including emulsion polymerization and paints and coatings. 4
