Emulsogen 4084 by Clariant is a non-ionic, APEO-free, low VOC (less than 1%) ethylene oxide (EO)-propylene oxide (PO) block copolymer with an ABA structure consisting of 60 wt% ethylene oxide units.
The A block is hydrophilic and the centered B block is hydrophobic. It acts as an emulsifier.
Emulsogen 4084 is resistant to water, hardness salts, acids, and alkalis in the concentrations normally used.
Emulsogen 4084 is pale yellow wax that needs to be melted at 60°C and added in parts to hot water (95°C) under stirring until the solution becomes clear.
Emulsogen 4084 forms a clear aqueous solution in a concentration of 25% and below, at 25°C,
More concentrated aqueous solutions of Emulsogen 4084 become waxy at room temperature.
Emulsogen 4084 can be used in combination with other non-ionic, anionic, and cationic surfactants.
Emulsogen 4084 complies with FDA regulations and is listed in AICS, DSL, EINECS, ENCS, IECSC, NECI, KECI, NZloC, PICCS and TSCA.
Emulsogen 4084 is composed of a block copolymer of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide, containing 60% w/w ethylene oxide.
Emulsogen 4084 is used in the emulsion polymerization of polyvinyl acetate, acrylate, and styrene/acrylate dispersions to stabilize the rheological behavior of the polymer dispersions and to improve the electrolyte and shear stability.
It can be used in combination with other nonionic, anionic, and cationic surfactants.
