TEGO® STO 85 V is a liquid, non-ionic emulsifier and dispersing additive based on polyoxyethylene-20 sorbitan tri oleate.
TEGO® STO 85 V is used as emulsifier and dispersing additive in a wide range of industrial applications, such as,
• Metalworking fluids (MWF)
• Concrete release agents
• Agricultural formulations
• Pigment concentrates
• Adhesives & sealants
In case of MWF applications, TEGO® STO 85 V is mainly used for the formulation of environmentally friendly lubri cants based on paraffinic mineral oils and hydrocrack oils.
As dispersing additive for pigment concentrates, TEGO® STO 85 V is used for the production of,
• Liquid color pastes, which might be either water-based for water-based systems or oil-based to be used for the liquid coloration of thermoplastic polymers instead of solid concentrates
• Pastes of inorganic fillers, carbon blacks and organic pigments
• Solid masterbatches for prewetting of pigments in the production of masterbatches
Additionally TEGO® STO 85 V can be used for production of adhesives & sealant formulations based on TEGOPAC® polymers. TEGO® STO 85 allows to increase the filler con tent without having negative impacts on mechanical prop erties of the SMP formulations.
TEGO® STO 85 V is also used as primary or secondary emulsifier for the polymerization of acrylates or PVAc.
For agricultural applications, TEGO® STO 85 V is biocompatible with microbial control agents like Trichoderma spp., Beauveria bassiana, Bacillus spp.
