| Product description: TEGOPREN® 5885 is a hydrophobic, non-ionic, polyether siloxane based wetting and dispersing agent. Application: TEGOPREN® 5885 is a highly efficient substrate wetting additive for a variety of systems: - water-based systems as used for paper laminates and other application
- solvent-based or solvent–containing systems
TEGOPREN® 5885 is a highly efficient dispersing agent, which improves the incorporation of fillers in different types of plastics like EVA, X-PE, PE etc. and therefore suitable for cable compounds. TEGOPREN® 5885 is a highly efficient additive for pulp and paper antifoams based on organic oils or siloxanes to improve their performance. Benefits: Especially suitable for water-based formulations, where the following advantages can be observed: - No or very low foam formation, even if no additional defoamer is used
- Improves the wetting of low energy substrates due to extreme lowering of the surface tension of water-based systems
- Improved durability
TEGOPREN® 5885 is a hydrophobic surfactant with a high affinity to fillers. The use in the production of cable compounds shows outstanding advantages like:- improved dispersing of fillers
- better hydrophobicity
- smooth and supple cable surfaces
- no influence on afterwards printing
By use of TEGOPREN® 5885 in pulp and paper defoamer formulations, the following benefits can be achieved:- Improved knock down and hold down of defoamers containing TEGOPREN® 5885
- Better high pH stability versus conventional polyethersiloxane boosted defoamers
- Cost savings based on better fiber wetting during brown stock washing and bleaching
