Polymerization Application: Adhesives And Paints

Polyethylene glycols are an extremely versatile family of products. Depending on their molecular weight, they can be liquids and pastes that fulfill a wide variety of functions, such as solubilizers, consistency regulators, impregnating agents, softeners, binders, humectants, lubricants, dispersants or mold release agents.. 

 Available products:

  • Polyethylene glycol MW = 200h g/mol 
  • Polyethylene glycol MW = 400h g/mol 
  • Polyethylene glycol MW = 600h g/mol 

These products are marketed under the brands: Pluracol and Polypol.

Solid polyethylene glycols, found in flakes, are products used as excipients in the pharmaceutical industry due to their consistency and their properties as solubilizers, impregnating agents, softeners, binders, humectants, lubricants, dispersants and mold release agents. 

Available products:

  • Polyethylene glycol MW = 4000 g/mol 

These products are marketed under the brands: Pluracol P and Polypol P.

Non-ionic surfactants, widely known for their high dispersing, degreasing, detergent, emulsifying, wetting and solubilizing efficacy.

Available products:

  • nonylphenol ethoxylate 10 EO

These products are marketed under the Brands: Tensapol NF.

Sorbitan esters. They are excellent products widely used as lipophilic emulsifiers, solubilizers, softeners, fiber lubricants, antistatic.

Available products:

  • Ethoxylated Sorbitan Monostearate
  • Ethoxylated sorbitan monooleate

These products are marketed under the Brands: Tensapol T.

They have stability in alkaline environments and/or high temperatures, they have excellent properties as defoaming agents, they have wetting, dispersing and emulsifying properties. Depending on the degree of ethoxylation, they are liquids, pastes or solids. They can be used in a wide variety of applications ranging from sugar production, formulation of lubricants and low-foam detergents, as well as polymerization and cosmetic processes..

Available products:

  • Copolymeric block with terminal primary alcohols
    • Pluronic F-68
    • Pluronic L 61

These products are marketed under the Brands: Tensapol and Pluronic.

Polypropylene glycol (PPG) can be used in various fermentation processes thanks to its antifoam characteristics.

Available products:

  • Polypropylene glycol MW = 600 g/mol 
  • Polypropylene glyco MW = 1038 g/mol 

These products are marketed under the brands: Pluracol P and Polypol P.

They are a series of water-soluble, monofunctional, polyalkoxylated polyglycols. All these products have excellent thermal and chemical stability, low toxicity, low pour point, act as good lubricants, have high viscosity and excellent active surface..

These properties give them a number of applications, especially as components in antifoam and demulsifying formulations..

The most frequent applications are as brake fluid, cutting fluids, rubber lubricants, fiber lubricants, textile applications, release agents for hot and cold applications, food processes.
