Why Choose Evonik for Plastics?
Proven Expertise: Decades of innovation in additives and functional carriers for plastics.
- Recycling Support: TEGO® CYCLE WA 111 is a non-foaming, non-ionic organic surfactant used in the washing step of plastic recycling lines for de-inking, de-labeling and de-metallizing of plastic packaging waste. It is solvent- and silicone-free.
- Tailored Solutions: From automotive to consumer goods, our products adapt to your unique challenges.
Key Solutions by Application
Performance Additives for Plastics
TEGOMER® – Enhances processing and surface properties for improved durability and aesthetics.
TEGOPREN® – Organo-modified siloxane additives for optimized flow and reduced defects.
SURFYNOL® – Wetting and dispersing agents for superior surface quality and uniformity.
AEROSIL® - Fumed Silica that enhances milling efficiency while reducing caking and improving dosing precision.
SPHERILEX® AB Series - prevents film blocking during production and storage.
Functional Additives
Glycidol – Reactive building block for advanced polymer synthesis, improving mechanical and thermal performance.
ACCUREL® – Porous carriers for functional additives, enabling precise incorporation and improved efficiency.
AEROXIDE® - Fumed Alumina that provides an antistatic effect by neutralizing electrostatic charges, essential for smooth polymer powder processing.
Specialty Solutions for Thermal and Surface Optimization
TEGO® Sorb – Advanced odor control sorbents for plastics.
TEGO® STO, TEGO® Surten – Surface treatment solutions for enhanced adhesion and coating performance.
TEGO® Wärmeleitpaste – Thermal management solutions for optimal heat transfer between semiconductors and radiating surfaces in electronics and high-performance applications.
Mechanical Recycling
- TEGO® CYCLE WA 111 – Non-foaming surfactant for de-labeling, de-metallizing and de-inking in the washing process of plastic recycling lines. It improves the wetting properties of aqueous dispersions on difficult substrates and prevents air bubbles from sticking to flake surfaces, supporting sink-float separation.
- TEGOMER® DA 850 – Polymeric dispersant with pigment-affinic groups for water-based systems, used alongside TEGO® CYCLE WA 111 in de-inking.
- TEGO® Sorb – Zinc ricinoleate odor absorbers working according to the lock-and-key principle, available as PE and PP masterbatches.
