Function tag evidence & scope

Function tags help find candidates. They do not establish suitability for water-based paint or an EcoSafe rating.

Wetting agent · Wetting

Supplier-grade/general function only; this does not establish compatibility with a starter formula, lower hazard, an EcoSafe rating or a verified environmental improvement. The reviewed application evidence concerns TEGO Wet 570 Terra; 580 Terra is only a related-grade reference. Function reference ↗

At a glance for your formula

Evonik TEGO Wet 570 Terra is a glycolipid wetting additive for waterborne coatings and inks. The supplier describes renewable raw materials, ready biodegradability and fast pigment or filler wetting, alongside substrate wetting and crater-control benefits. The related 580 Terra grade has a different active concentration and is not interchangeable without checking its documentation. Formulation trials should address foam, water sensitivity and storage behavior.

Grade-specific screening values have not been recorded. Consult the selected supplier’s technical reference.

Grade scope & review questions

Supplier-reported information; awaiting human review. Application tags concern 570 Terra only; 45% active. Samples currently EMEA; other registrations ongoing.
Gap: Current regional SDS/TDS and availability require confirmation.
Gap: Starter replacement dose and energy saving: not established.
No exact chemical identity/CAS supplied for this commercial grade or family; do not infer one from chemistry words or trade name.
Workbook deliberately groups related grades; preserve one candidate/family card and separate grade-specific claims.
Related supplier grades are grouped for navigation. Claims and application evidence retain the selected-grade scope stated in the summary; do not transfer them to every related grade.

2 of 16 defined fields are recorded with a source. This measures structured information currently on this site, not the completeness of every linked PDF. Missing fields remain in the denominator.

Coverage is separate from scientific accuracy, human verification and EcoSafe assessment. Molecular fields may not apply to a grade or family; they are not filled from another material to increase its score.
