SIMALINE IE 201 A

Outstanding stabilization of inverse emulsions in polymerization

SIMALINE^TM IE 201 A may be used in many types of W/O emulsion polymerization where its outstanding properties lead to a smooth polymerization and a very good stability of the final emulsion in terms of ageing and resistance to high temperature.

SIMALINE^TM IE 201 A may be used to access various types of polymers such as polyacrylamides and polyacrylates, for use as flocculants, thickeners, retention-aids, etc.

Other possible application areas

In order to cope with the very different parameters which are met during emulsion polymerization processes (monomer composition, phase ratio, initiators, temperature/conditions), two blends, SIMALINE^TM IE 201 A and SIMALINE^TM IE 201 B are available.

SIMALINE^TM IE 201 B is the blend of the same polymeric surfactant from which SIMALINE^TM IE 201 A is made, yet this time associated with an ethoxylated fatty sorbitan ester of vegetable origin.

SIMALINE^TM IE 201 A and SIMALINE^TM IE 201 B may be associated to finally tune the surfactants’ mix and HLB to every case.
