Architectural Coatings

Coatings are more than protection – they are fundamental to defining surfacesand elevating aesthetics. In today's market, where high performance is non-negotiable, Evonik delivers the advanced solutions your business needs. We offer essential technologies for architectural coatings that address durability, appearance, and formulation efficiency. Whether you are developing decorative finishes, durable roofing membranes, or high-performance emulsions, Evonik's portfolio helps you create coatings that last and impress.

Evonik's portfolio features brands such as ACEMATT®, TEGO®, DYNAPOL®, and VISIOMER®, which consistently deliver results across diverse coating systems. Selected products support low-VOC and waterborne formulations: TEGO® Foamex 11 is a low-VOC defoamer emulsion developed for architectural paints, TEGO® Foamex 16 is formulated for architectural coatings, and TEGO® Wet 570 Terra and 580 Terra are biosurfactants for substrate, pigment and filler wetting. From specialty methacrylates for binders and resins, dispersing agents and wetting additives to sophisticated matting technologies, our chemistry adapts precisely to your specific coating challenges.

Decorative Coatings & Emulsions

Achieve flow, leveling, and surface appearance in both waterborne and solvent-based paints with additives like TEGO®, CARBOWET®, SURFYNOL®, and DYNOL®—our proven wetting agents, defoamers, and surfactants. For excellent film formation, adhesion and weather resistance, utilize VISIOMER® acrylic monomers to build high-performance emulsions. Support pigment stabilization and improved color development in your decorative finishes with ZETASPERSE® dispersing agents and TEGO® Color Aid compatibilizers for universal colorants.

Matting & Texture Control

Deliver smooth, uniform finishes with precisely customizable gloss levels. Our specialty monomers, silica-based matting agents and rheology modifiers, including ACEMATT®, SPHERILEX®, SIPERNAT® and VISIOMER®, provide a balance between texture control, functionality and temperature stability. SIPERNAT® 800, 833, 835 and 898 are precipitated synthetic silicates used as titanium dioxide extenders in paints and coatings.

Roofing Membranes & Protective Coatings

Develop flexible, durable roofing membranes and exterior coatings with outstanding adhesion and UV resistance. DYNAPOL®, and VISIOMER® offer specialty monomers, polymers and binders for protection and wet scrub resistance. VPS 4721 is an epoxy-functional silane resin bonding organic polymers to glass and metal surfaces; VPS 7163 is an isocyanurato silane and strong crosslinker. Enhance crosslinking, water repellency, and substrate bonding in your protective coatings using Dynasylan® silane technology and VISIOMER®. TEGO® Phobe polysiloxane emulsions and silane blends reduce water uptake and generate a water-beading effect in coating formulations and waterborne impregnations.

Process Optimization & Additive Technologies

Improve your production and application efficiency with TEGO® Foamex defoamers, available as emulsions and concentrates for architectural paints. For essential rheology control, anti-settling, and enhanced mechanical properties in high-performance formulas, rely on AEROSIL® fumed silica and TEGO® Viscoplus associative thickeners with Newtonian or pseudoplastic flow behaviour.

Our Formulation Expertise, built on decades of experience in coating chemistry and application support, is at your service. Applicable VOC limits and indoor air quality requirements depend on the coating system, the application and the market; our specialists support you in selecting suitable products. Evonik is Innovation-Driven, continuously developing smart additives to keep your coatings future-ready.
