Achieve exceptional stability and electrolyte tolerance in your emulsion polymer formulations.
Innospec’s EMPIPHOS® alkyl phosphate esters are emulsion polymerisation (EP) additives. Useful for wetting & solubilising, EMPIPHOS® grades also impart properties including hydrotropy, electrolyte tolerance, and corrosion inhibition into formulations.
EMPIPHOS® is suitable for architectural and decorative coatings and can serve as the sole emulsifier, or as a co-emulsifier in systems containing nonionic surfactants. It is additionally employed in metalworking fluid formulations.
