Product description: TEGOPREN® 5847 is a polyether siloxane. It is a non-ionic product with 100 % active content. Application: Apart from its extraordinary reduction of surface tension in aqueous solutions, the main property of TEGOPREN® 5847 is super spreading. This is the fast coverage of large hydrophobic surface. TEGOPREN® 5847 shows excellent surface wetting in adhesive application, where the coating of difficult substrates is required. Furthermore, it is recommended for curtain coating applications. The improvement of penetration into paper or its wetting of fibres, make TEGOPREN® 5847 suitable for adhesives used in the paper, wood and furniture market as well as for non-wovens and hygiene products. Benefits: TEGOPREN® 5847 is a solvent-free easy to handle liquid. Due to its non-ionic nature it is compatible with cationic, anionic, non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants. The use of small amounts of TEGOPREN® 5847 reduces the surface tension of water-based systems. It therefore enhances the spreading on non-polare surfaces e. g. polypropylene.
