Description
[Dow Chemicals] A series of registered trademark surfactants that are used as emulsifiers, wetting agents and dispersant in variety of applications. Their applications include a variety of cleaning solutions, emulsion polymerization, as well as components in paints and coatings.
- The GR series are anionic surfactants based on dioctyl sulfosuccinates.
- The X series are non-ionic surfactants based on octylphenol ethoxylates.
Properties and applications for these two series are listed below.
