NaATBS is a 50% liquid solution that is convenient to handle, thereby making it easy to obtain the desired flexibility in formulations to create high performance polymers. Depending on the desired polymerisation molecular weight and performance characteristics, sodium salt is also offered in three grades: 2403, 2405 and 2407.

INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS

Emulsions for paint and paper coatings Polymers containing ATBS improve scrub resistance, dispersant performance and reduce grit formation

Raw material for water treatment Used in the cooling tower and boilers, to inhibit Calcium, Magnesium and Silica scale formation. Also used to precipitate solids in industrial and mining effluents

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

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

Textile auxiliaries Used as textile sizing agents, thickeners, dispersants and non-woven emulsion binders

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

Acrylic fibre Gives dye receptability for acrylic fibre

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.

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.
