Coating and Adhesive Applications
Adhering to Basics
AMPS® monomer is field-proven to achieve exceptional latex stability in high- performance latex coatings. When used to prepare latex paint, the surfactant becomes an integral part of the paint film, resisting leaching. This also is true for latexes used in laminating, such as pressure-sensitive adhesives.
The AMPS monomer’s dispersions of solids in aqueous media are colloidally stable, improving the preparation of high solids emulsions. Low molecular weight copolymers of AMPS monomer are especially effective dispersants for highly polar materials. These copolymers also can improve the preparation of high solids dispersions.
