TEGOMER® DA 800

TEGOMER® DA 800 is a non-ionic, modified fatty acid derivative used as a dipersant or a secondary emulsifier. It is used in food contact applications.

Typical Applications

TEGOMER® DA 800 is a liquid dispersing additive used for pigment concentrates for the production of

Liquid colour pastes, which might be either water-based or oil-based, e.g. for the coloration of thermoplastic polymers
Pastes of inorganic fillers, carbon blacks (CB) and organic pigments
Solid masterbatches; the material is applied with a gravimetric side feeding or in low concentration also at the typical feeding position (just 5 parts of 100 parts formulation)

Additionally, TEGOMER® DA 800 can be used for the production of adhesives & sealant formulations based on TEGOPAC® polymers. TEGOMER® DA 800 allows to increase the filler content without negative impacts on mechanical properties of the SMP formulations. TEGOMER® DA 800 is a primary or secondary emulsifier for the polymerization of acrylates or PVAc.

Benefits at a glance

Universally suitable for inorganic and organic pigments
Due to its ability to disperse silica in water and glycols it is used in the PET manufacturing process and will not interfere in the polymerization process
Excellent color strength development for liquid colorants
Enables low viscosity pigment concentrates
No yellowing of bright colored finishes or plastic parts due to high temperature resistance
Solvent, amine and nonylphenol ethoxylate-free
Suitable as continuous phase for liquid pastes
Solvent- and nonylphenol ethoxylate-free emulsifier technology
Pure acrylates as well as those with high EHA content for adhesive formulation reach fine particle size distribution if it is used as emulsifier
Water pick up of emulsions and pigments / fillers is lowered
