Brüggemann Chemical US

Booth 838 www.brueggemann.com As the leading manufacturer and research organization in the area of sulfur-based reducing agents, BrüggemannChemical has a wide assortment of sulfinic acid derivatives including Bruggolite and Blancolen. At the ACS BrüggemannChemical US will present the latest findings for the application of Bruggolite FF6 M to the polymerization of emulsion polymers. Bruggolite FF6 M is formaldehyde-free, is more reactive, significantly reduces free monomers during emulsion polymerization, and does not cause yellowing. Superior results are possible at lower dosage. Blancolen HP is a powerful, formaldehyde-free anti-oxidant to prevent yellowing of polymers caused by oxygen.
