Dextrol™ OC-50

Dextrol™ OC-50 by Ashland is the neutralized (sodium salt) form of a nonylphenol ethoxylated phosphate ester. It is a solvent-free phosphate ester surfactant. It is an effective emulsifier in emulsion polymerization.

• It provides the finished latex with low coagulum and offers improved handling and storage stability for the finished latex.
• It is designed to impart improved gloss, color acceptance and color properties in waterborne latex paints.
• It functions as a wetting and dispersing agent.
• It can serve as a supplemental dispersant to assist in reducing pigment flocculation.
• It helps improve dispersion of pigments during processing and enhances surface wetting (substrate wetting).
• It provides flash rust inhibition and improve open time and block resistance.
• It also offers low water sensitivity.
• It is suitable for waterborne architectural paints, universal colorants, and latex polymerization.
• It has a recommended usage level of 5-10% by weight on pigment.
