Backcoating Auxiliares for Carpet and Textiles
Our advanced surfactant foam technologies are engineered for precise application to a wide range of substrates, including carpet, upholstery, vinyl, flocking, awning, and textiles.
We offer a diverse portfolio of high-performance foaming agents and foam stabilizers based on acrylic, EVA, and styrene butadiene polymers. Each product is carefully formulated to align with your specific polymer system, substrate, and application equipment—ensuring consistent quality and optimal results.
Selected products:
- CHEMFROTH 1357: Sodium n-Octyl Sulfosuccinamate foam stabilizer for use in various backcoating and surfactant systems where rich dense cell structure is required. Anionic. 35% active.
- CHEMFROTH XY: A specialty amphoteric surfactant stable in pH range 4.0-10.0. Flash foaming capabilities.
- CHEMTEX A-17: Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate. A general purpose anionic surfactant widely used for foaming applications in various industries. 30% active.
- CHEMTEX FFA: An amphoteric foaming agent used extensively in the flocking industry to generate condensed fine foam cell structure for coating applications. Nonionic.
- CHEMTEX 2216-T: A unique frothing auxiliary that has shown excellent foam capabilities in acrylic systems where mechanical stability and finish cell structure is required. Can be used as an ammonium stearate replacement without the creation of ammonia odors, smoke, hazardous volatiles or stearate residuals in exhaust systems.
- CHEMTEX 2317: A unique foam stabilizer used in conjunction with CHEMTEX 2216-T to yield a highly stable foaming system for numerous applications.
We also offer a line of sodium polyacrylate thickeners for thickening SBR, natural and synthetic latex, acrylic polymers and ethylene-vinyl acetate polymers.
- CHEMTHIK 107: Highly efficient Methyl-based Sodium Polyacrylate for viscosity modification. 14% solids. Anionic.
- CHEMTHIK 1015: Sodium Polyethylacrylate thickener. Contributes to specialty flow properties for SBR-based latex systems. 15% solids. Anionic.
