DISPONIL LS 500 is a high ethoxylated emulsifier based on a native fatty alcohol. It is used as a non ionic emulsifier for emulsion polymerization formulations, especially hydrophilic formulations such as vinyl acetate systems. DISPONIL LS 500 exhibits excellent biodegradability behaviour and is classified as “readily biodegradable”. It can be used in combination with anionic or cationic surfactants throughout the polymerization. DISPONIL LS 500 provides improved stabilization properties in aqueous based polymer systems for industrial applications. It also exhibits excellent biodegradability behaviour and is classified as “readily biodegradable”, making it suitable for industries where environmental sustainability is important.
