New Generation of Alkyl Phenol-Free Nonionic Surfactants for Emulsion Polymerization
Disponil® AFX emulsifiers have been developed in response to increasing global environmental protection regulations and recommendations to phase out the use of Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylates (APEs). These new products have been designed to meet environmental requirements while providing effective performance in emulsion polymerization.
About 10 years ago, Henkel Corporation, now Cognis Corporation, developed a family of nonionic green surfactants for emulsion polymerization called the Disponil A Series. They were developed as alternatives to traditionally used APEs and synthetic Alcohol Ethoxylates (synthetic AEs).
