Overview
Lupasol® G 20 is a 50% aqueous solution of a low molecular weight, branched polyethylenimine polymer. It is commercially available as a colorless to pale yellow, viscous liquid in both drum and tote packaging. Lupasol® G 20 has a high cationic charge density that makes it useful as an adhesion promoter, dispersing agent, and flocculant in various applications. Due to the cationic nature of the polymer, Lupasol® G 20 is recommended for use in alkaline, nonionic and cationic formulations. Lupasol® G 20 is soluble in water and other polar solvents and can be easily diluted to your target working concentration.

Problems Solved
Adhesion failure of architectural coatings and paints on wet surfaces.
Poor adhesion of kitchen and bathroom paints.
Applications
Lupasol® G 20 is most commonly used in latex paints and coatings for bathrooms, kitchens, and other high humidity environments to improve wet adhesion of the paint.
Even a very small concentration (0.1%) of Lupasol® G 20 added to a emulsion paint results in a significant improvement in wet adhesion.
Lupasol® G 20 can be added directly to the paint formulation and makes the use of special monomers in latex paint manufacturing unnecessary.
