Tego Coating & Ink Additives has introduced Tego Dispers 655, a new solvent-free dispersing additive for waterborne, solventborne and radiation curing formulations.

Tego Dispers 655 stabilizes and improves the wetting of many types of inorganic pigments and fillers. It gives outstanding results, particularly with transparent iron oxides and aluminum pigments. By using Tego Dispers 655 in the production of either resin-containing dispersions or pigment concentrates, it is possible to reduce viscosity and achieve outstanding color strength, high gloss and superior storage stability. The use of Tego Dispers 655 during the manufacturing of the bronze slurry improves significantly the stability of the noncoated aluminum pigments in water, and the gassing reaction is prevented. Tego Dispers 655 is free of alkylphenolethoxylates. More info: www.tego.de.
