Evonik releases new dispersant for coatings

 

Evonik announced the launch of TEGO® Dispers 687, a new dispersant specially developed for the wetting and dispersing of matting agents in solventborne coatings. TEGO® Dispers 687 helps achieve coating characteristics such as excellent anti-sedimentation and consistent matte values.

 

Highly recommended for semi-gloss and matte wood coatings, TEGO® Dispers 687 extends the application window by greatly reducing the sedimentation tendency of matting agents, even when the paint is diluted over a period of time.

 

TEGO® Dispers 687 is especially suitable for untreated matting agents that have good transparency but high sedimentation tendency. Because of its excellent anti-sedimentation property, it allows users to lessen or eliminate the use of anti-sedimentation additives in their formulation – which is advantageous to the development of highly transparent matte coatings.
