3 Wetting Agents for Paper Impregnation TEGO Surten W 111 Alcohol alkoxylate 100% active No foaming Enhanced penetration into the paper Nonylphenol ethoxylate-free TEGOPREN 5878 Organomodified siloxane 100% active Low foaming Enhanced penetration into the paper Nonylphenol ethoxylate-free Seite 3

4 Test Method / Wetting Behaviour of Aminoresins on Paper Draw down direction For each test two stripes are cut from one sheet of paper. For the measurement always a control without additive and one with the wetting agent is measured to acertain comparable results. A drop with a defined volume is put on the paper and at once drawn down with our draw down machine. Then the length and width of the resin film is measured and noted down as difference compared to the control in % shorter (length) and % broader (width). Seite 4

5 Test Setup & Performance of Wetting Agents Determination of film length The shorter the film the faster does the resin penetrate into the paper Determination of film width The broader the film the better the penetration into the paper 1. ontrol without additive (powder resin + hardener) 2. ompetitor, Octylphenolethoxylate 3.

7 Where are Antifoams used? In Melaminic resins for impregnation of decor paper and overlays In Phenolic resins for impregnation of Kraft paper Seite 7

8 Antifoam for Impregnation of Decor Papers and Overlays TEGO Antifoam 2360 Excellent antifoaming properties Especially designed for sensitive surfaces like Melamine or Polyurethane No surface defects Transparent films Easy to handle emulsion Seite 8

9 Stirring Test for Foaming Behavior of Resin Formulations age Stirrer: Diameter: 2 cm Height: 2 cm How to run the test ml resin + defoamer is poured into a 250 ml beaker 2. Stirring for 1 minute at 2500 rpm 3. Resin is poured into a 50 ml calibration flask 4. Weight is determined Interpretation High weight = few entrained air = good defoamer performance Low weight = much entrained air = poor defoamer performance The amount of air can be calculated by using the following formula: Volume of air % = 100 (g*2)/d g = weight of 50 ml stirred resin D = density of the air free resin The stirrer must be completely covered with resin.

14 TEGOMER Dispersing Agents In the production of single-colored surfaces the pigments may be dispersed in the resin bath. Mainly this is done in the production of white surfaces by dispersing TiO2 in the resin. If the dispersion is not good enough, separation of the pigment will occure. These separations often build up hard layers in the resin bath and are not easy to remove. Without TEGOMER DA Seite 14

15 TEGOMER Dispersing Agents By adding TEGOMER dispersing agents separations are avoided. No hard layers are build up and cleaning of the impregnation bath is getting easier. With TEGOMER DA Seite 15
