Marine & Protective Coatings

In the harshest environments - saltwater, chemicals, fire, abrasion - your infrastructure deserves more than just protection. It needs performance. Evonik empowers the marine and protective coatings industry with high-performance additives, hardeners, silanes, and specialty monomers for adhesion, corrosion protection, curing and surface control.

Whether you're safeguarding offshore platforms, container ships, or industrial tanks, our chemistry supports coating systems built for long service intervals.

• Durability Meets Innovation: Proven brands like DYNASYLAN®, VESTAMIN®, VISIOMER®, TEGO®, SURFYNOL®, ANCAMINE®, ANCAMIDE®, SILIKOPON® and ALBIDUR® deliver adhesion, corrosion resistance, and surface control.
• Low-VOC and Bio-Based Options: SILIKOPON® EF enables two-pack isocyanate-free high-solids topcoats with a low VOC content. Dynasylan® SIVO 110 is an almost VOC-free waterborne sol-gel system. TEGO® Wet 570 Terra and 580 Terra are biosurfactants; TEGO® Wet 270 eCO and VISIOMER® eCO EHMA apply the mass balance approach.
• Tailored Performance: From direct-to-metal coatings to fire-resistant systems, our portfolio adapts to your toughest challenges.

Protecting vessels, offshore platforms, and port infrastructure from saltwater, algae, and corrosion.
