TEGO Dispers 695 — Technical Profile
TEGO Dispers 695 is a Highly polymeric-based wetting and dispersing additive manufactured by Evonik Industries AG (Germany), part of the TEGO Dispers product line. Ink focus.
How It Works
TEGO Dispers 695 adsorbs onto pigment surfaces via anchoring groups (amine, acid, or polar functionalities), then stabilizes the dispersion through steric and/or electrosteric repulsion of the polymeric tails. This prevents flocculation, reduces grinding time, improves color strength, and prevents flooding/floating in multi-pigment systems.
Key Specifications
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Chemistry | Highly polymeric |
| Function | Wetting & dispersing agent |
| Active content | 40–100% |
| Acid value | grade-dependent |
| Amine value | grade-dependent |
| Solvent | varies (water, xylene, methoxypropanol) |
| Recommended dosage | 5–40% based on pigment weight (inorganic); 15–70% based on pigment weight (organic) |
Applications
- Coatings
- Inks
Dosage & Addition
- Recommended dosage: 5–40% based on pigment weight (inorganic); 15–70% based on pigment weight (organic)
- Addition point: Add to the millbase before pigment addition; must be present during grinding
Formulation Considerations
W-suffix grades (740 W, 747 W, 750 W, 755 W) are waterborne-specific. Non-W grades (630, 670, 685, 695) are solventborne. Grade 656 is universal (WB + SB). Proper dosage optimization via rub-out test is essential.
