Available Anionic Surfactants
Are you experiencing these issues in your latex emulsions?
Emulsion instability
Many EP chemists add defoamers and extra surfactants to their emulsions—leading to leaching surfactants and crashing emulsions.
Subpar products
Unstable emulsions lead to increased problems down the line, resulting in subpar end products.
We can help with that.
Learn how to avoid these issues and create better emulsions in our free "5 Watch Outs with Your Emulsion" guide.

Emulsion Polymerization Learning Series
In this 7 part series, Pilot Chemical's top emulsion polymerization expert, Ben Dorau, discusses the most common challenges formulators report when attempting to emulsify various monomers and what can be done to counteract them.
Calfax®: 60% Less Foam*
Diphenyl oxide-based surfactants such as Calfax® DB-45 & 16L-35 produce much less foam than traditional emulsifiers such as alkyl sulfates.
* Tested against leading brand
Calfax's CMC (Critical Micelle Concentration) as compared with other chemistries - lower CMC means reduced surfactant load.
