TEGOMER® DA 850

TEGOMER® DA 850 is a polymeric copolymer with pigment affinic groups to be used as a dispersant in water-based surroundings. TEGOMER® DA 850 allows to transfer water-based pigment slurries into thermoplastics when water is being evaporated during the extrusion process.

Typical Applications

TEGOMER® DA 850 is a liquid dispersing additive used in the manufacture of water-based pastes of
  • Inorganic fillers e.g. talc or barium sulfate, chalk
  • Inorganic pigments e.g. titanium dioxide, ultramarine blue, iron oxides
  • Organic pigments and carbon blacks

Benefits at a glance

  • Higher filling of pastes
  • Excellent rheological properties even during long-term storage of pastes
  • Prevention of hard settlement of fillers and pigments with high density, e.g. titanium dioxide or barium sulfate
  • Improved color strength and covering power
  • Less speck formation and agglomerates
  • Reduced abrasion properties on the doctor blade used for the application of finishes
  • Improved mechanical properties
  • Improved durability
  • Solvent- and nonylphenol ethoxylate-free
