TEGOPREN® 6875

TEGOPREN® 6875 is a liquid alkyl modified siloxane (liquid silicone wax) to be used for surface treatment of fillers, pigments and flame retardants making them easier dispersible in thermoplastics formulations. TEGOPREN® 6875 is also used in-situ during compounding.

Typical Applications

TEGOPREN® 6875 improves the dispersion of
  • Inorganic fillers e.g. titanium dioxide, talc
  • Inorganic pigments e.g. ultramarine blue, iron oxides
  • Flame retardants, e.g. MDH or ATH
  • Organic pigments, e.g. phthalo blues or DPPs in polyolefines and engineering resins

Furthermore, TEGOPREN® 6875 is used as a liquid dispersing additive in the manufacture of masterbatches.

Benefits at a glance

By hydrophobizing the pigment / filler / flame retardant surface TEGOPREN® 6875 offers several advantages
  • Higher filling grades
  • Excellent rheological properties
  • Improved water repellency/lower water up-take
  • Improved weatherability
  • Improved mechanical properties
  • Higher Color strength
  • Less speck formation
