ETHOX HVB

High Efficiency Thickener
Ethox HVB is an ideal thickener for hard to thicken systems such as Sulfate-Free surfactant systems as well as conventional surfactants as demonstrated in the table. Another advantage of Ethox HVB over other structurally similar materials is solubility. Compared to other thickeners, Ethox HVB can be used at higher levels while maintaining clarity to create novel forms with unique aesthetics and performance and with greater stability.

  • High Performing Waterborne Alkyd Coating Recipes
    May 10, 2019
    Alkyd Coating

    The E-Sperse® RX Series are reactive emulsifiers which make stable, high solids waterborne emulsions from existing solvent-based alkyds. The RX Series products cure into the alkyd upon drying giving improved coating hardness and adhesion compared to competitive surfactants. They do not add to VOC, are APE-free, and often lower the surfactant usage rate compared to other surfactants. The RX Series products eliminate the need to design new alkyds especially for waterborne formulations.

After 15 years, Chuck became Vice President and in 2008 he took the reigns as President. He has been active in SOCMA since 1989 and served on the Board of Governors from 2008-2015. He received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from West Georgia College in 1969 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from Clemson University in 1973.
