Tego Surten W 5840 Polyether siloxane Degussa-Goldschmidt Wetting agent/ Wet edge enhancer >> Polymer Coatings >> Waterborne Wetting agents TEGO® Surten W 5840 Polyether siloxane TEGO® Surten W 5840 improves the spreading and wetting properties for aqueous media formulation and application of polymer dispersions/latices with fillers or pigments in a multitude of other industrial applications where negative interaction between substrates and coatings has to be overcome Due to the special selection of active ingredients TEGO® Surten W 5840 outperforms conventional wetting agents due to the foam inhibiting behaviour. Depending on the application in question the required dosage may vary over a wide range (0.1 % - 1.0 %); suitable screening test are therefore recommended (initial dosage 0.3 %). Polyether siloxane. Used as a wetting agent for aqueous media such as formulation and application of polymer dispersions/latices with fillers or pigments, and in a multitude of other industrial applications where negative interaction between substrates and coatings has to be overcome. Offers foam inhibiting behaviour. <br> Use level: 0.1-1.0%.
