PCC Chemax Surfactants

ChemPoint’s portfolio of PCC Chemax surfactants includes a variety of chemistries that provide many performance benefits in several formulations across different industries. Chemstat® surfactants are used as internal antistatic additives for plastic compounding applications. When added to plastic blends based on LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE, or polypropylene, they effectively reduce plastic to allow for more efficient processing of products such as thermoplastic films, sheets, and molded parts. Chemal surfactants are effective wetting agents, emulsifiers, and detergents used in formulations used in metalworking, coating, cleaning, and textile finishing applications. These provide highly effective emulsification and dispersant properties with low foaming. Chemeen surfactants are used as emulsifier and lubricant additives and cleansing agents for applications such as metal and textile lubricants, textile dyes, degreasers, and corrosion inhibitors.
