TEGO Dispers 780 W – A Safe and Effective Waterborne Ink Dispersant

Today, most classical waterborne ink grinds are made in a solution of carboxy-functional grinding resins. And often, a dispersant is needed for viscosity reduction and to improve the color strength.

In recent trends, manufacturers aim to reduce the amount of grinding resin to minimize the effects and maximize pigment loading. For resin-reduced formulations, additional dispersant is required to prove long-term stabilization.

CHALLENGES IN FINDING THE RIGHT DISPERSANTS

For each waterborne ink, finding the right type of dispersant is a very complicated process. Another difficulty is ensuring broad compatibility with various let-down resins. When blending pigment bases and let-down vehicles, pigment shocking can occur with the wrong dispersant – particularly in resin-reduced and resin-free grinds.
