Product Description
Chemical Name: Block Copolymer EO-PO
Grade: Chemical
Block Copolymer EO-PO
Copolymer PL3 is a difunctional block copolymer surfactant terminating in primary hydroxyl groups. A nonionic surfactant that is 100% active and relatively nontoxic. Copolymer PL3 nonionic surfactant is block copolymer of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide. Copolymer PL3 is wetting agent, emulsifier, demulsifier, viscosity control agent, dispersant, antistatic agent, lubricant – agricultural, cosmetics, metal cleaning, paper, textile, paints, chemical intermediate. The use of Copolymer PL3 offers the following advantages
Product properties
low VOC (Volatile organic compounds)
free of alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO)
readily biodegradable
hazard label free
easy to handle
Performance in emulsion polymerization
maintains low viscosity of polymer emulsion at different shear rates
enhanced electrolyte stability
improved shelf life (high freeze thaw stability)
similar polymerization results to APEOs
