Type ID: 3     (pKb ~3-4)     4% solids


The amidinated positively-charged hydrophobic latex is particularly suitable for the preparation of latex intermediates. The only surface functional group present on the particle is amidine, which is not sensitive to the aggregating effects of polyvalent cations. These particles are sensitive to negatively charged contaminants of multivalent anions. Putting these latexes in glass containers can result in aggregation due to such anions. The amidine latexes should be used in low to neutral pH environments. These amidine latexes are available in a range of sizes and surface charge densities (70-1000 Ų per charge group).
