RHOPLEX™ NW-1715K

DOWNLOAD Technical Data Sheet

RHOPLEX™ NW-1715K is an alkyl phenol ethoxylate (APEO)-free, ultra-low formaldehyde, styrenated acrylic emulsion specifically designed for high-performance nonwoven applications requiring good wet strength. It combines a soft to moderate hand with hydrophobicity, heat sealability and moderate salt stability. RHOPLEX™ NW-1715K also thickens with the addition of ammonium hydroxide, thus can reduce the need for additional thickeners.

Typical application(s)

  • high-performance nonwovens

Performance advantages

  • high hydrophobicity
