SOKALAN® PA 80 S is a water-soluble polyacrylic acid homopolymer supplied as a free acid, designed for use in water-based systems. In coatings, it acts as an effective dispersant for pigments and fillers, improving stability, gloss, and rheological control. In adhesive formulations, it enhances dispersion stability and contributes to better adhesion and cohesive strength. During emulsion polymerization, SOKALAN PA 80 S functions as a protective colloid and stabilizer, supporting fine particle size control.
