About Thurs LCN 118 -Emulsifier
Thurs LCN 118 is used as a nonionic emulsifier for emulsion polymerization improving the shear, temperature and electrolyte stability of polymer dispersions. The recommended usage is 2% active based on monomers. In waterborne and solvent-borne lacquers (low PVC), Thurs LCN 118 can be used as a compatibilizer to improve tinting strength and to reduce rub-out, water absorption, and haze effects. Dosage recommendation (supply form) in waterborne acrylic lacquers is 1.3-1.9% and in solvent-borne alkyd lacquers 0.33-0.66%. When used during the premixing phase in the production of waterborne emulsion paints (high PVC), Thurs LCN 118 also acts as a processing aid and helps to reduce the grinding time by faster deagglomeration of TiO2 and fillers. This is especially of interest in areas of hard water. The general dosage recommendation (supply form) for this purpose is 0.3%.
Efficient Chemical Dispersion in Textile ProcessingThurs LCN 118 ensures optimal emulsification, allowing chemicals and dyes to distribute uniformly onto textile fibers. Its liquid form mixes easily, resulting in improved texture and color fastness in finished fabrics. Industrial users benefit from consistent, superior outcomes in their production lines.
Versatile Applications and Easy HandlingWith its liquid formulation, Thurs LCN 118 can be seamlessly incorporated into various textile manufacturing processes. It is suitable for use in both small-scale facilities and large industrial plants, providing flexibility and ease of use for different operational requirements.
