TEGO® STO 85 V

TEGO® STO 85 V is a liquid, non-ionic emulsifier and dispersing additive based on polyoxyethylene-20 sorbitan trioleate.

Typical Applications

TEGO® STO 85 V is used as emulsifier and dispersing additive in a wide range of industrial applications, such as
  • Metalworking fluids (MWF)
  • Concrete release agents
  • Agricultural formulations
  • Pigment concentrates
  • Adhesives & sealants

In case of MWF applications, TEGO® STO 85 V is mainly used for the formulation of environmentally friendly lubricants based on paraffinic mineral oils and hydrocrack oils.
As dispersing additive for pigment concentrates, TEGO® STO 85 V is used for the production of
  • Liquid color pastes, which might be either water-based for water-based systems or oil-based to be used for the liquid coloration of thermoplastic polymers instead of solid concentrates
  • Pastes of inorganic fillers, carbon blacks and organic pigments
  • Solid masterbatches for prewetting of pigments in the production of masterbatches

Additionally TEGO® STO 85 V can be used for production of adhesives & sealant formulations based on TEGOPAC® polymers. TEGO® STO 85 allows to increase the filler content without having negative impacts on mechanical properties of the SMP formulations. ​​​​
TEGO® STO 85 V is also used as primary or secondary emulsifier for the polymerization of acrylates or PVAc.
For agricultural applications, TEGO® STO 85 V is biocompatible with microbial control agents like Trichoderma spp., Beauveria bassiana, Bacillus spp.

Benefits at a glance

TEGO® STO 85 V
  • Is based on raw materials derived from natural origin
  • Has excellent dermatological properties (no skin irritation)
  • Shows very good toxicological and ecological properties (no hazard warning labels, water hazard class 1)
  • Has outstanding emulsifying and stabalizing properties, which ensures the spontaneous formation of finely dispersed and long-time stable oil-in-water emulsions
  • Is biocompatible with microbial control agents like Trichoderma spp., Beauveria bassiana, Bacillus spp. in agricultural applications
  • Offers as dispersant several ad­vantages for the production of pigment concentrates
  • Is universally suitable for inorganic and organic pigments
  • Provides excellent colour strength development
  • Enables low viscosity liquid pigment con­centrates
  • Is suitable as continuous phase for liquid pastes
  • Is solvent- and nonylphenol ethoxylate-free
  • Reaches fine particle size distribution if used as emulsifier in adhesive formulations based on pure acrylates as well as those with high EHA content
  • Lowers water pick up of emulsions and pigments/ fillers
