Wetting and Dispersing Additives

TEGO^® Dispers

TEGO^® Dispers wetting and dispersing additives promote pigment wetting and stabilization. They prevent floating, flooding and settling of pigments so that color coverage and intensity remain consistent during storage. At the same time, theyensure maximum color yield for the pigment while minimizing the number of milling steps. Since these additives lower viscosity, coatings and pigment concentrates can be produced cost-effectivelybecause pigment concentration can be maximized during dispersion.

For manufacturing water-based pigment concentrates, we recommend TEGO^® Dispers 757 W which is also the preferred product for corrosion resistant waterborne coatings and, like TEGO^® Dispers 750 W and TEGO^® Dispers 755 W, satisfies the highest demands in regards to optical and rheological properties.

The TEGO^® Dispers 65x series’ technology is currently the market standard for alkylphenolethoxylate-free universal pastes for waterborne and solventborne formulations. Modern, solventborne formulations can be developed particularly well with TEGO^® Dispers 656, 670 and 685. For UV systems we recommend TEGO^® Dispers 685 for all pigment types and TEGO^® Dispers 688 for matting agents. All TEGO^® Dispers products are alkyl phenolethoxylate-free.
