EMULSOGEN TS 540

Emulsogen TS 540 is an emulsifier and Wetting Agent for Aqueous Crop Protection Formulations.

Emulsogen TS 540 is a nonionic wetting and dispersing agent for organic pigments in dispersions, preparations and coatings.

The Emulsogen TS types are well-established replacements for NPEs in many formulations.

Emulsogen TS 540 is a nonionic wetting and dispersing agent for organic pigments in dispersions, preparations and coatings. 
Emulsogen TS 540 is composed of tristyrylphenol-polyglycolether with approximately 54 moles ethylene glycol. 

Emulsogen TS 540 is free of any additional biocide and is used for aqueous pigment preparations, paints and coatings. 
Emulsogen TS 540 is suitable for organic pigments and carbon black to produce stable, free flowing pigment preparations with high solid contents. 

Emulsogen TS 540 improves the compatibility of pigments and minerals with polymers and binders. 
It prevents skinning of emulsion polymers in paints and improves the shelf life and stability of emulsion paints.
