Specialty Additives
Emulsion Polymers and Specialties
Surfactants, or surface-active agents, adsorb to surfaces of dispersions and impart critical performance properties, such as wetting, leveling and adhesion to products. Cytec is the leading supplier of sulfosuccinate-based anionic surfactants, ranging from emulsifiers to facilitate emulsion polymer synthesis to dispersants that modify surface properties for special needs, such as low foaming wetting agents and stabilizers.
Cytec is also a leading producer of monomers and crosslinkers, which provide cost-effective solutions for the performance needs of the coatings, adhesives and plastics industries. They are key components that deliver specific properties, such as solvent resistance, scrub resistance, high impact resistance, and wet strength.
Our products find use in a variety of different applications, including:
- Concrete
- Ink
- Latex paint
- Non-woven binders
- Plastics
- Pressure sensitive adhesives
- Roof coatings and adhesives
- Varnish
Docusate Sodium USP
Cytec is the world's leading supplier of docusate sodium USP (DSS), a versatile and highly effective anionic surfactant. Cytec manufactures pharmaceutical-grade DSS products to the highest quality standards under cGMP, ensuring exceptional quality and performance for use as either active ingredients or excipients/formulating aids. As an excipient, DSS is an excellent solubilizing, wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying agent, beneficial for use in oral dosage forms. It aids the granulation process, improves tablet disintegration and dissolution, facilitates tablet coating, and ensures homogeneity of ingredients and dosages. As an active ingredient DSS is highly effective in laxatives and stool softeners, prenatal and geriatric vitamin preparations, and ear wax removal compounds.
