POLYSTEP HPE is a phosphate ester functional monomer, made from mono and di-esters of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), used in emulsion polymerization. It enhances coating properties in architectural and industrial direct-to-metal (DTM) applications at typical levels of 1-4% on total monomer content. Key benefits include improved metal adhesion, better pigment dispersion (e.g., TiO₂), enhanced chemical resistance, and corrosion resistance.

STEPSPERSE® 61 is a VOC-free, high-performance polymeric dispersant and wetting agent for waterborne formulations. It is highly effective for dispersing and stabilizing organic pigments and carbon black. Dispersions prepared with STEPSPERSE® 61 exhibit excellent compatibility with various resin systems with a minimal impact on coating properties.

STEPANOL® EHS has the following functional properties: low foaming detergent, excellent wetting/penetration properties, stable in high concentration of electrolytes.

STEPFAC™ 8170-U is an phosphate ester of an alkylphenoxy polyethoxyethanol. It is utilized in high electrolyte systems, as a compatibility agent in liquid fertilizer systems, and it can be incorporated into many emulsifier blends.
