WSP Chemicals & Technology, Inc. offers a range of water-soluble polymers for a variety of applications and the ability to customize chemistry for specific use conditions. WSP offers a standard range of commercially available products, but recommends a customer /application specific approach to selecting and modifying polymer chemistry to optimize performance and reduce cost.
Custom Capabilities
The ability of water-soluble polymers to affect product characteristics has applications in a broad range of industries.
- Cosmetic Ingredients
- Industrial Products
- Mineral Slurries
- Oilfield Applications
- Pulp and Paper
- Water Treatment
WSP can customize a solution to your application need.
Surface Modification
Water-borne polymers are ideal for modifying charge, texture, reactivity and other surface properties. Whether coating a particle, strand or broad surface, water-soluble polymers can be used to improve the quality and value of a product or reduce production costs associated with achieving results.
- Strengthening Agents
- Dye Fixatives
- Conditioning Agents
- Dispersants
- Antiscalants
Solid/Liquid Separation
On the most basic level, solid/liquid separation is the use of an agent or mechanical aid to produce liquid free of contamination. Water-soluble polymers can be used alone or in combination with other treatment programs to separate contaminants by settling, floatation and filtration.
- Coagulants
- Flocculants
- Drainage/Retention Aids
- Emulsion Breakers
Surface modification applications range from textile and paper coatings to water treatment scale inhibition to hair and skin conditioning.
Fluid Property Modification
In many applications, the physical properties of a solution are as important to efficacy as chemical composition.
- Thickeners
- Rheology Modifiers
- Shear Properties
- Fluid Loss Additives
- Friction Reducers
Fluid properties can affect residence time, flow rates, perceived quality and a number of factors that add to the performance and value of a product.
