Solvay VOC-free defoamers and APE-free surfactants are examples of its commitment to sustainability and the environment.
Solvay recognizes the difficulties in selecting the optimal surfactant system for wetting, dispersing or designing an emulsion polymer system. Formulators require surfactants that perform and are compatible with the entire formula and do not compromise the quality of the coating. Environmental concerns are also key drivers behind the reformulation of well-established systems, leaving formulators with additional challenges to overcome, such as the conversion to APE-free systems or ensuring compatibility with low to VOC-free formulations.
Solvay Novecare is developing and expanding its line of industry-leading paint additives to enhance the performance of VOC-free and APE-free water-based formulations while providing additional benefits such as improved freeze-thaw, open time, film appearance, defoaming and wetting characteristics. Solvay consistently develops new sustainable additives that allow formulators to address the performance challenges of newer waterborne formulations, while answering the demand for more sustainable and cost-effective products.

General Guidance for use of SIPOMER® PAM Monomers
DO DON’T
> Storage –Feedings tanksDo use stainless steel or plastic
containers to store solutionsof SIPOMER® PAM.
Don’t use iron containers that can be corroded by acidic SIPOMER®
PAM releasing metal ions that could trigger the polymerization.
> High reactivity
Do follow the order of introductionof our starting recipes. Put SIPOMER®
PAM in the kettle when the reaction temperature is met. Do feed separately or
in the monomer mixture/pre-emulsion.
Don’t introduce SIPOMER® PAM in the initial charge before heating.
Don’t mix with the solution of the initiator. This would rapidly
polymerize even without heating.
> Heat stability of polymer
Do neutralize the polymer beforeheating at elevated temperature
( > 140° C).
Copolymers are more stable and canbe handled above 200° C. This is
strongly dependent on the nature ofthe polymer and must be checked
case by case.
Don’t heat acidic homopolymers to temperatures above 140° C.
> Hydrolytic stabilityDo keep between pH = 5 and pH = 9for long time storage or when using
at temperatures above 60° C.
Don’t use diluted SIPOMER® PAM very acidic (pH < 3) or basic (pH >
10) conditions. This would hydrolyze the ester linkage and
the phosphate group.
> Corrosion
Do neutralize with a non volatile baseand add corrosion inhibitor. Keep the
coating at pH > 9 for good anticorrosion properties.
Don’t use SIPOMER® PAM in acidic form when post neutralization is
not possible.

SIPOMER® COPS-1 is a 40% aqueous solution of sodium1-allyloxy-2-hydroylpropyl sulfonate:
CH2 = CH - CH2 - O - CH2 - CH(OH) - CH2 - SO3Na
Even at levels as low as 0.5 - 1.0% (based on total monomer), SIPOMER® COPS-1 provides latex stability, such as shelf life, freeze/thaw and mechanical and chemical stability. It also provides block resistance for the final polymer.
With SIPOMER® COPS-1, the levels of conventional can be reduced significantly. Surfactants are key component in providing stability to latex.
However their migration to the interface causes water sensitivity to the dry polymer film.
SIPOMER® COPS-1 reacts with other reacts with other comonomers through the chemical (covalent) bond. The sulfonate group will remain at the surface of the particle providing very good stability to the latex. Since the functionality is anchored to the polymer backbone, it will not migrate after film formation and thus cannot modify interfacial properties. As a result of the reduction of conventional surfactant, the foaming tendency of the latex and the water sensitivity of the polymer film are both reduced.

Superior wet-adhesion propertiesSIPOMER® WAM was custom designed to combine the benefits of amine and ureido functionalities in a single monomer. The Table below shows the synergistic effects of this combination.
SIPOMER® WAM is incorporated into all-acrylic and vinyl-acrylic polymer systems through its allylic functionality. It provides wet adhesion in two ways:
w The ureido ring promotes interaction with the substrate via its high polarity and hydrogen bonding.
w The amine functionality provides an additional site for interaction with substrate and pigment.
SIPOMER® WAM modifies the latex binder, enabling it to wet the pigment particles more effectively, due to reduced interfacial tension.

28 / Specialty Monomers
By combining its experience in specialty monomers and emulsion polymerization, Solvay extended the available range of specialty methacrylic esters monomer for HASE thickeners.
SIPOMER® BEM – SIPOMER® SEM – SIPOMER® HPM series Rheology
SIPOMER® BEM SIPOMER® BEM delivers low shear efficiency.
SIPOMER® HPM 400 SIPOMER® HPM 400 delivers low to mid shear efficiency. SIPOMER® HPM 400 allows to easily match cellulosic thickeners profiles.
SIPOMER® HPM-100 SIPOMER® HPM 100 delivers mid shear efficiency.
SIPOMER® SEM 25 SIPOMER® SEM 25 delivers mid to high shear efficiency.
SIPOMER® HPM 200 SIPOMER® HPM 200 delivers high shear efficiency. SIPOMER® HPM 200 allows to easily match Newtonian thickeners profiles.
Solvay SIPOMER® HPMs are 50 Wt% active specialty methacrylic monomers designed to easily access desired rheology profiles. Working with SIPOMER® HPMs provides choice in profile and significant cost saving versus “generic” HASE.
PropertiesSolvay SIPOMER® HPMs were incorporated in standard HASE polymer recipes and benchmarked versus well known “generic” HASE at equal viscosity (95KU) in 30 Wt% solid latex (table 1) as well as at equal use level in flat paints (table 2). While the HPM 200 based thickener presents a very performant solution as Newtonian ICI builder, the HPM 100 based HASE combines KU building and improved ICI viscosity. Whereas cellulosic replacement is targeted, HPM 400 based system offers matching profile with higher efficiency.

DISPERSANT MECHANISM
Wetting: Liquid that replaces air on the surface of the pigment particle by reducing the interfacial tension
Dispersant: Product that maintains fine solid particles in a suspended state and inhibits aggregation or sedimentation in a liquid medium
Stabilization: Prevents re-agglomeration by electrostatic and/or steric repulsion
Electrostatic Stabilisation
Steric Stabilisation
PIGMENT STABILIZATIONChallenges:
• Maintain storage stability of pigment concentrates over longer time periods
• Compatibility of these pigment concentrates with different coating systems after enduring longer storage time
• Color acceptance/development in tinted systems
Performance:
• Anchoring of dispersant over the pigment’s surface
- Improved compatibility
- Improved color acceptance
- Preventing flocculation and sedimentation
