FutureChem® LiSIPA

FutureChem® LiSIPA by FutureFuel Chemical Company is a monomer based on 5-lithiosulfoisophthalic acid. It is a high melting, water soluble solid used as an additive in polyester and polyamide applications. It improves cationic dyeability and stain resistance in carpet and textiles. It functions as a monomer or comonomer to make polyester resins which are further used as a component of food packaging adhesives due to its ability to form strong bonds. It find applications in magnetic tapes to improve adhesion of polyester layers. It allows for the creation of water-dispersible or water-soluble polyester and polyurethane resins, replacing organic solvents for lower VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds).
