Polymers to enhance oil recovery

ATBS copolymers are used in oil field environments as scale inhibitors, friction reducers and water-control polymers, and in polymer flooding applications.

Construction chemicals

In drilling operations where conditions of high salinity, high temperature and high pressure are present, ATBS copolymers are used successfully to inhibit fluid loss.

In cementing operations within deep, high temperature wells, ATBS copolymers are used as non-retarding fluid loss control agents.

Detergents and cleaners

Used to improve characteristics of hydrophilicity, dispersibility, and lubricity and also enhance the cleaning efficiency of detergents and Cleaners.

Raw material for water treatment

Used in Cooling Tower and Boilers to inhibit Calcium, Magnesium and Silica scale formation. Also used to precipitate solids in industrial and mining effluents

Acrylic fibre

Gives dye receptability for acrylic fibre

Textile auxiliaries

Used as Textile Sizing Agents, Thickeners, Dispersants and Non-Woven Emulsion Binders.

Hydrogels and super absorbents

Being super absorbents, they are used in diapers, lotions and other personal care products, due to high water absorbing capacity, electrical conductivity, slipperiness and lubricity. Also used as water retention agents

Adhesives

Improve strength in pressure sensitive formulations and also make wood glue to improve adhesive strength, thermal and mechanical properties with superior rheology

Emulsions for paint and paper coating

Polymers containing ATBS improve scrub resistance, dispersant performance and reduce grit formation
