TEGO® Dispers - Dispersing additives for high-performance printing inks
Pigment wetting and dispersion are critical to achieving outstanding ink performance. The right additive not only ensures efficient grinding, but also unlocks higher pigment loading, improved color strength, and long-term stability.
With TEGO® Dispers 695 and TEGO® Dispers 780 W, Evonik offers two additives designed to meet the evolving demands of modern ink formulations - across solvent-borne, radiation-curing, and waterborne systems.
TEGO® Dispers 695 - Maximum performance for radiation-curing and solvent-borne inks
TEGO® Dispers 695 is a novel hyperdispersant engineered to set new benchmarks in pigment dispersion and formulation stability.
Key benefits:
- Faster grinding and improved process efficiency
- Strong viscosity reduction for easier handling
- Finest particle size distribution
- Outstanding color strength development
- Excellent long-term dispersion stability
Even with highly demanding organic pigments, TEGO® Dispers 695 ensures consistent, reliable performance - making it particularly ideal for high-performance inkjet and liquid ink systems, where stability is critical.
Recommended for:
- Radiation-curing inks
- Solvent-borne polyurethane inks
- Inkjet inks and high-end applications
TEGO® Dispers 780 W - Flexible and robust for waterborne ink systems
TEGO® Dispers 780 W is a polymeric dispersant designed to deliver excellent results across a wide range of waterborne ink formulations.
Key benefits:
