Tego Surten W 5878 Non-ionic polyether siloxane Degussa-Goldschmidt Wetting agent/ Wet edge enhancer >> Polymer Coatings >> Waterborne Soluble in water, alcohol Non-ionic polyether siloxane. TEGO® SURTEN W 5878 improves the spreading and wetting of aqueous media Formulation and application of polymerdispersions/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 5878 outperforms conventional wetting agents due to the foam inhibiting behaviour. TEGO® SURTEN W 5878 may be added to the dispersion as delivered. Predilutions are possible and might be beneficial depending on the facilities.The required dosage may vary over a wide range (0.1% – 1.0%); suitable screening tests are therefore recommended (initial dosage 0.3%) Non-ionic polyether siloxane. Used as wetting agent for water based systems such as formulation and application of polymerdispersions/latices with fillers or pigments, and in a multitude of other industrial applications where negative interaction between substrates and coatings has to be overcome. Possesses a foam inhibiting behaviour. <br> Use level: 0.1-1.0%.
