Wetting Agents for Adhesives and Sealants

NUOSPERSE® FX 9360 by Elementis is a high molecular weight wetting and dispersing agent. It is a highly branched copolymer containing multiple anchoring groups.

• It is suitable for dispersion of carbon black and organic pigments.
• It deflocculates pigments and prevents re-flocculation through steric hindrance.
• It reduces grinding time and mill base viscosity.
• It improves color development, hiding power, gloss and evenness.
• It is suitable for solvent & solvent-free type epoxy- and PU adhesives & sealants.
• The recommended dosage level is 20-40% for organic pigments and 50-150% for carbon black.
• NUOSPERSE® FX 9360 has a shelf life of 2 years.

TEGOPREN® 5890 by Evonik is an organo-modified siloxane. It is a solvent-free, easy to handle liquid, acts as an anti-foaming and wetting agent. It is highly efficient in fighting dry foam and shows an outstanding dispersibility and dilution stability. It improves the dewatering of S-PVC after stripping. It is recommended for the production of transfer labels and tapes or for laminating processes as well as for the production of dispersions like reaction, blow down and stripping.

• It is compatible with cellulose, polyvinyl alcohols, PVC suspension, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers (EVAc) and polyvinyl acetate (PVAc).
• TEGOPREN® 5890 is used in water-based polymerization processes and adhesives.
• The recommended dosage may vary between 0.01 to 1.0%.
• It has a shelf life of 12 months.

TEGOPREN® 5840 by Evonik is a non-ionic solvent-free, easy to handle polyether siloxane. It reduces the surface tension of water-based systems. It enhances the spreading on non-polar surfaces such as polypropylene. It is compatible with cationic, anionic, non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants.

• It is recommended for the production of transfer labels and tapes sealant and adhesives or for laminating processes.
• Its recommended addition level is 0.1-0.6% for adhesive applications, 0.1-0.3 % to overcome defects or craters and 0.3-0.6 % for the wetting of critical substrates or an improved penetration.
• TEGOPREN® 5840 has a shelf life of 12 months.

Deuterol® 201 E by Deuteron is a non-ionigenic surfarce-active compound in combination with water miscible solvents. It acts as defoaming wetting and dispersing agent for water dilutable systems. Deuterol® 201 E is used in putties, sealing compounds, glues and adhesives.

Troysperse™ CD1 by Arxada is a general-purpose, polymeric pigment dispersant, and wetting additive. It is suitable for non-aqueous adhesives & sealants.

PureVadd™ 6225 by IGM Resins is a wetting and dispersing agent. It is a fatty acid-based polymer. It is a bio-based grade. It is solvent-free and suitable for VOC-free applications.
