Reactive Surfactants

ABOUT
Swash develops advanced reactive surfactants designed for modern emulsion polymerization systems. Unlike conventional surfactants, reactive surfactants contain polymerizable groups that become chemically incorporated into the polymer structure during polymerization. This reduces surfactant migration and significantly improves the durability and performance of the resulting polymer films. Reactive surfactants are increasingly used in high-performance coatings, inks, adhesives, and construction materials.
