Description

1,3-Butadiene, Homopolymer, Ethoxylated is a synthetic polymer derived from the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene followed by ethoxylation, resulting in a versatile surfactant and rheology modifier. This chemical is valued for its ability to provide excellent emulsification, dispersion, and foam control properties in complex formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and coatings industries for producing high-performance products.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant and wetting agent in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to enhance stability and application efficiency.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a leveling agent, dye dispersant, and softener in fabric treatment and dyeing processes.
• Coatings & Paints: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Imparts improved rheological control and substrate wetting in various adhesive formulations.
• Personal Care: Employed as a foam booster and viscosity modifier in select rinse-off products, subject to grade-specific compliance.

Quality Control

Our 1,3-Butadiene, Homopolymer, Ethoxylated is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance characteristics such as hydroxyl value, ethylene oxide content, viscosity, and pH. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed tightly after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
