STRODEX P-100

Strodex P-100 surfactant is the free acid form of a phosphate coester of aliphatic alcohols. lt improves gloss and color acceptance in waterborne latex paints. Strodex P-100 surfactant can be neutralized by the user to any degree using a number of organic or inorganic bases. When neutralized with ammonium hydroxide or volatile amines, moisture sensitivity of waterborne coatings is minimized and corrosion inhibition is enhanced. Strodex P-100 surfactant also provides benefits in universal colorants. It helps disperse and stabilize pigments, thereby enhancing color acceptance for water-based paints tinted at the point-of-sale. In water-reducible alkyds, Strodex P-100 improves wetting and pigment dispersion. lt can also help stabilize metal driers against hydrolysis and loss of activity at elevated pH.
