ROKAmer PP450 is a polyol (polyoxypropylene diol type) with an average molar mass of about 450 g/mol. The product is a polymer with a double-action structure, which is caused by the presence of two hydrophilic groups in the molecule. This distinguishes the ROKAmers PP group from other non-ionic surfactants and determines their properties. ROKAmer PP450 can therefore be classified as a product with anti-foaming properties, dedicated mainly to industrial processes. The product has the following INCI name: PPG-8.
The product contains approximately 100% of the active substance. It is a clear viscous liquid at room temperature and has a low freezing point (below -20°C). It dissolves in cold water, and its solubility decreases significantly with increased temperature. Just as all polypropylene glycols, ROKAmer PP450 can be mixed in any proportions with organic solids and liquids, with long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons being the main exception. Additional distinguishing features of this product are excellent lubricity and low vapour pressure. In extreme heating conditions, it does not form coke or varnish, and the decomposition products have a low boiling point.
The product is used in a wide range of applications, primarily as a defoaming ingredient. It can be used as a foam reducing agent in the paper industry, in food processing (sugar production), in emulsion paints, or fermentation vats. Other applications of this product include the use of ROKAmer PP450 as a release agent, plasticiser, and a raw material for the synthesis of other anti-foaming agents in the process of further chemical modification, e.g. using fatty acids.
ROKAmer PP450 can also be used as an ingredient in the production of resins, lubricants, metalworking fluids or as a solvent or coupling agent in the production of printing inks (the product acts as a solvent in the production of wetting agents and fountain solutions), a raw material for the production of coloring pastes, polyurethane foams and pesticide preparations .
In cosmetics it can be used as an emollient and softening agent. ROKAmer PP450 can also be used as a foaming agent for flotation of coal or copper, iron, lead, and nickel ores. Foam generated during flotation has specific characteristics required in such processes.
