Polymerizable Surfactants – SPECIFICATIONS
New APE Free Polymerizable Anionic Surfactants for Emulsion Polymerization
HITENOL AR Series
HITENOL AR series are newly developed APE (alkyl phenol ethoxylate) free polymerizable anionic surfactants for emulsion polymerization bearing a polymerizable propenyl group. Excellent emulsion and polymerization stability can be obtained.
