E-SPERSE® 700 is a yellow liquid for emulsion polymerization. The nonionic surfactants, E-Sperse® 700 and 703, vary in their ethoxylation level and thus their hydrophile-lipophile balance or HLB. Matching the HLB of the emulsifier to the monomers and to t...view more
E-SPERSE® 700 is a yellow liquid for emulsion polymerization. The nonionic surfactants, E-Sperse® 700 and 703, vary in their ethoxylation level and thus their hydrophile-lipophile balance or HLB. Matching the HLB of the emulsifier to the monomers and to the polymer is critical for optimal emulsion properties.
The choice of the proper one for your emulsion polymer system can best be determined by experimentation. E-Sperse® 700 and 703 nonionic polymerization surfactants may also be used in conjunction with other commonly utilized nonionic or anionic surfactants to produce smaller particle size emulsions. The E-Sperse® series emulsifiers are much lower foaming than traditional alkylphenol ethoxylates so lower levels of defoamers are necessary in the polymerization process. view less

Formulation For Lithol Rubine Dispersion Using Esperse 506 (Formulation #1). Traditionally, lithol rubine and other metallized azo red aqueous dispersions have a tendency to be unstable due to free metallic cation content of the pigment. Some improvements in formulation have been made with the introduction of HPD 296 dispersing resin from Johnson Polymer.
Though the pigments have more stability in this grind resin, some degree of pseudoplastic character still exists in the dispersions and inks made from it. The addition of a small amount of Esperse 506 to the formula dramatically reduces the pseudoplastic tendencies while maintaining viscosity and color
