Explore Syensqo's Products for Emulsion Polymerization 

Syensqo's broad portfolio of surfactant solutions and specialty monomers help improve the quality of binders to optimize coating performance. Our unique brands include Rhodacal® range, Abex®, Rhodafac®, Rhodapex®, Aerosol®, Sipomer® PAM, Sipomer® WAM and Sipomer® COPS Series.

• Rhodacal® range - Rhodacal® surfactants for architectural coatings are known for their versatility. They function as emulsifiers, stabilizers and wetting and dispersing agents in waterborne polymer and coating systems. 
• Abex® - Abex® improves the performance of emulsion polymers in waterborne architectural coatings and adhesives. These specialty emulsifiers provide performance improvements such as particle size control, grit reduction and stability of pre-monomer emulsions. Abex® can be used in a wide range of polymer systems, including a variety of acrylics.
• Rhodafac® - This APEO-free anionic surfactant provides excellent scrub resistance in high PVC paints based on vinyl acrylics. It also offers improved thaw stability for latex systems and ease of incorporation into waterborne paints, coatings and adhesives. Rhodafac® is specifically recommended in latex synthesis. 
• Rhodapex® - Rhodapex® is an APE free line of emulsifiers designed for high-performance properties to coatings applications. It offers a sustainable solution with good emulsion stability and particle-size control in all-acrylic, styrene-acrylic, vinyl-acrylic, vinyl-neodecanoate, and vinyl acetate-ethylene polymers.
• Aerosol® - Aerosol® specialty surfactants are designed to improve the performance of architectural and industrial coatings and waterborne adhesives. These anionic surfactants offer particle size control and improved stability. 
• Sipomer® PAM - Known for improving the performance of adhesives in architectural and industrial coatings applications, the Sipomer® PAM series of specialty monomers is added during emulsion polymerization. From adhesion enhancement to anti-corrosion properties and water resistance, Sipomer® PAM is suitable for numerous applications. 
• Sipomer® WAM - Sipomer® WAM specialty monomers provide formulators with a wide range of benefits, such as improved wet adhesion, wet and scrub resistance and solvent resistance in various polymer systems. 
• Sipomer® COPS Series - Designed to provide consumers with excellent mechanical and thermal stability to decrease the need for surfactants, the Sipomer® COPS Series improves the performance of architectural and industrial coatings, as well as adhesives.
