STANDARD APPLICATIONS

RHODAPEX® CO-436 can be used to prepare a broad range of commercial emulsion polymers including acrylics,
vinyl-acrylics, and styrene-acrylics. Such polymers find application in latex paints, adhesives, paper coatings, and
textiles. RHODAPEX® CO-436 is particularly useful in the preparation of small particle size emulsion polymers with
high water resistance and excellent chemical stability. The versatility of RHODAPEX® CO-436 allows it to be used
with a wide range of polymerization techniques, including thermal and redox processes. When properly used in
conjunction with other anionic and nonionic surfactants, RHODAPEX® CO-436 allows for the trouble-free commercial
production of extremely stable emulsion polymers.

STANDARD PACKAGING

RHODAPEX® CO-436 is available in Bulk Quantities, 200 KG Plastic Drums, and 475 LB. Closed Head Poly Drums.
Alternative package sizes may be available upon request.

SHELF LIFE

RHODAPEX® CO-436 has a shelf life of 365 days.
