TEGOPREN® 5885 is a hydrophobic, non-ionic, polyether siloxane based wetting and dispersing agent. For dispersion of nano fillers, Masterbatches & Compounds.
Typical Applications
TEGOPREN® 5885 is a highly efficient substrate wetting additive for a variety of systems:
TEGOPREN® 5885 is a highly efficient dispersing agent, which improves the incorporation of fillers and in different plastics such as EVA, X-PE, PE etc. and therefore suitable for cable compounds.TEGOPREN® 5885 can be used for surface treatment of fillers at the manufacturing place, in high speed mixer for treatment at the compounder place or as in situ treatment while compounding the filler, pigment or flame retardant.TEGOPREN® 5885 is a highly efficient additive for pulp and paper antifoams based on organic oils or siloxanes to improve their performance.
- Water-based systems as used for paper laminates and other application
- Solvent-based or solvent–containing systems

Benefits at a glance
Especially suitable for water-based formulations, where the following advantages can be observed:
TEGOPREN® 5885 is a hydrophobic surfactant with a high affinity to fillers. The use in the production of cable compounds shows outstanding advantages like:
By use of TEGOPREN® 5885 in pulp and paper defoamer formulations, the following benefits can be achieved:
- No or very low foam formation, even if no additional defoamer is used
- Improves the wetting of low energy substrates due to extreme lowering of the surface tension of water-based systems
- Improved durability
TEGOPREN® 5885 is a hydrophobic surfactant with a high affinity to fillers. The use in the production of cable compounds shows outstanding advantages like:
- Improved dispersing of fillers
- Better hydrophobicity
- Smooth and supple cable surfaces
- No influence on afterwards printing
By use of TEGOPREN® 5885 in pulp and paper defoamer formulations, the following benefits can be achieved:
- Improved knock down and hold down of defoamers containing TEGOPREN® 5885.
- Better high pH stability versus conventional polyether siloxane boosted defoamers.
- Cost savings based on better fiber wetting during brown stock washing and bleaching.
