Surface Specialties

At ADEKA, we offer a diverse range of surface specialty products, blending petrochemical raw materials with natural ingredients, developed through years of research in interfacial chemical technologies. Our focus on innovation has led to the creation of environmentally friendly, high-performance solutions used across various industries, from paints and coatings to industrial applications promoting energy saving, resource conservation, and environmental hygiene.

Our surfactants are indispensable in the coating industry, offering essential functions such as emulsion polymerization, pigment dispersion, rheology control, and defoaming. These surfactants enhance product quality and improve efficiency across different manufacturing processes.

We provide two types of emulsifiers: reactive and non-reactive. Our reactive emulsifiers not only deliver superior emulsifying properties but also improve water resistance and other physical characteristics of resin films, making them ideal for various resin types. They also function as monomers for resin modification. Meanwhile, our non-reactive emulsifiers offer low foaming and excellent pigment miscibility, making them versatile for emulsion polymerization and stabilization.

ADEKA's thickeners are engineered for exceptional control over the rheology and viscosity of synthetic resin emulsions, such as water-based paints and adhesives. These thickeners enhance roller workability, improve spray patterns, and ensure better coverage and finish, all while offering characteristics like chemical resistance, pH stability, and low toxicity.

With our extensive portfolio of surface specialty products, ADEKA continues to deliver innovative solutions that improve efficiency, sustainability, and performance across multiple industrial sectors.
