Indorama Ventures presents webinar”Surfactants for Emulsion Polymerization”

On june 20th, at 9am CST (11am BRT), Indorama Ventures will be presenting at ZOOM an insightful and educational webinar titled “Surfactants for Emulsion Polymerization”, specifically designed for professionals in the Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers (CASE) industry. 

Bruno Dário, TS&D Scientist for Coatings at Indorama Ventures, is the speaker at this must-attend event that will be a free and online opportunity for professionals to expand their expertise, connect with industry experts and obtain actionable strategies to improve your formulations and emulsion polymers performance. 

Webinar Highlights

– Comprehensive Formulation Guidance: Learn how to formulate emulsion polymers using a variety of surfactants. We will delve into the properties and applications of different surfactants and demonstrate the advantages of each surfactant in your final formulation.

– Step-by-Step Procedures: Understand the detailed procedures required for different emulsions, ensuring you can replicate and adapt these processes in your own projects.

– Transition to APE-Free Surfactants: Discover how to replace Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APE) with APE-free surfactants while maintaining or even enhancing the final coating properties. This webinar will provide practical insights into making your formulations more environmentally friendly.

– Diverse Surfactant Range: Explore our extensive range of surfactants, including:

  • APE and APE-Free Surfactants
  • Nonionic Surfactants: With different Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) values and various hydrophobes
  • Anionic Surfactants: Various hydrophobes
  • Sole Surfactants: Tailored for specific applications and performance requirements.

– Interactive Q&A Session: Engage directly with our experts to get your questions answered and discuss specific challenges you face in your formulations.

Plant-based hydrotropes

What was the challenge?

Hydrotropes are essential ingredients to ensure the stability of cleaning formulations, prevent the separation of components, and maintain effectiveness over time. Recognizing their importance and the potential for advancement in this field, we saw an opportunity to innovate with a plant-based alternative, combining high performance with environmental responsibility, and a focus on well-being.

Our solution

Drawing on decades of expertise in applied chemistry, Indovinya developed SURFONIC® H-1040, an anionic hydrotrope with more than 80% plant-based origin, free of phosphates, aromatics, and BTEX. 

In addition to being biodegradable and safe, it delivers superior performance, requiring only 1/3 to 1/4 of the dosage of SXS to stabilize formulations. Its liquid format makes it easy to handle and reduces energy consumption in the manufacturing process.

Results

  • Three to four times higher hydrotropic performance compared to SXS
  • Up to 66% reduction in carbon footprint, according to LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) studies
  • Versatile application across different categories of water-based cleaning products (laundry, dishwashing, multipurpose cleaners, and degreasers)
  • Safe replacement for synthetic hydrotropes with a more efficient and sustainable alternative
  • Supports innovation in cleaner formulations, offering an improved toxicological and environmental profile
