Emulsogen LCN 287 is used as emulsifier for emulsion polymerization, as dispersing


agent for pigments and for aqueous paints and coatings.
Emulsogen LCN 287 is used as emulsifier for emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate,
styrene and acrylate homo- and copolymers together with anionic surfactants like
Emulsogen EPA 073. Emulsogen LCN 287 improves the shear, temperature and
electrolyte stability of polymer dispersions.
Recommended usage: 1 - 3% active material based on monomers

USE IN PIGMENT PREPARATIONS


Emulsogen LCN 287 is used as a dispersing agent for inorganic and organic pigments in
aqueous pigment preparations. Emulsogen LCN 287 is specially used for carbon black and
organic pigments.
Recommended dosage: 5 – 35% active material based on pigments

USE IN AQUEOUS PAINTS AND COATINGS
Emulsogen LCN 287 is used for aqueous paints and coatings as a dispersing agent and
stabilizer to improve the compatibility of pigments with polymers.
Emulsogen LCN 287 prevents skinning of aqueous coatings e.g. in textile coatings with
emulsion polymers.
Emulsogen LCN 287 improves the shelf like and wetting of pigments in paints. It
enhances the wet and dry scrub resistance for architectural emulsion paints.
Recommended dosage: 0,1 – 0,5% based on the formulation

USE IN ALKYD EMULSIONS


Emulsogen LCN 287 is used as emulsifier for aqueous emulsions of alkyd resins.
Recommended dosage: 2 – 7% active material based on the alkyd resin.
