TEGO DISPERS 688 is a pigment-wetting and dispersing additive that promotes the incorporation of matting agents in liquid formulations. TEGO DISPERS 688 enables a strong matting effect and reduces viscosity with organic and inorganic pigments/fillers, improving color intensity and gloss. As a clear to slightly hazy liquid with an active matter content of around 45%, TEGO DISPERS 688 is suitable for solventborne and waterborne systems. It can be used in direct grind resin-based pigment concentrates and resin-free pigment concentrates. TEGO DISPERS 688 provides benefits such as easier dispersion of pigments, enhanced opacity and hiding power, and a smoother finish when used in coating and filling formulations.
