Solutions by Application Area
Surface Appearance & Matting
Achieve consistent gloss control and elegant matte finishes with our silica-based matting agents and dispersions:
- ACEMATT® – Silica-based matting agents for deep matte effects and excellent transparency.
- AERODISP® – Ready-to-use dispersions for easy incorporation and consistent performance.
- AEROSIL® – Fumed silica for rheology control and anti-settling properties.
Flow, Leveling & Wetting
Ensure smooth application and flawless film formation with our multifunctional additives:
- TEGO® Flow – Enhances leveling and reduces surface defects.
- TEGO® Glide – Improves slip and scratch resistance.
- TEGO® Wet – Boosts substrate wetting, especially on non-porous surfaces.
- SURFYNOL® – Dynamic wetting agents for improved adhesion and reduced cratering.
Dispersing & Stabilization
Optimize pigment dispersion and prevent flocculation for vibrant, uniform coatings:
- TEGO® Dispers – High-efficiency dispersants for inorganic and organic pigments.
- ZETASPERSE® – Advanced dispersing technology for high-performance pigment stabilization.
- NANOPOL® / NANOCRYL® – Nanotechnology-based additives for enhanced clarity and mechanical strength.
Adhesion & Compatibility
Strengthen interlayer bonding and improve substrate adhesion:
- TEGO® Addbond – Adhesion promoters for challenging substrates like glass and metal. TEGO® Addbond LTK and LTK-B improve adhesion and flexibility of solventborne coatings on steel and galvanized steel.
- Dynasylan® – Silane-based adhesion enhancers and crosslinkers for durable performance. Dynasylan® SIVO 140 is a waterborne inorganic-organic binder for two-pack zinc dust paints; Dynasylan® SIVO CLEAR is a two-component coating system.
- VISIOMER® – Specialty Methacrylates enabling tailored adhesion performance in coating resins: VISIOMER® HEMA-P 70M and HEMA-P 100 are phosphate methacrylates with adhesion to polar substrates and anticorrosion properties.
Corrosion Protection
Strengthen corrosion resistance in protective and industrial coatings:
SPHERILEX® AC 45 / AC 45 HS – Spherical precipitated calcium silicates designed to improve corrosion resistance when added to a coating formulation, with a typical calcium content of 6.5–7.5 %. Due to their morphology they may also enhance film hardness and abrasion resistance. AC 45 has relatively low oil absorption; AC 45 HS has higher oil absorption. Suitable for waterborne, solventborne and powder coatings.
Foam Control & Air Release
Maintain coating integrity and visual appeal with effective defoaming solutions:
- TEGO® Foamex – Powerful defoamers for solventborne and waterborne systems.
- TEGO® Airex – Air release agents that prevent microfoam and surface defects.
Radiation-Curable Systems
Versatile building blocks for UV-Curable Coatings
- VISIOMER® – Specialty Methacrylates for improved durability, excellent adhesion and mechanical performance
Metal Wire Coatings
Protect metal wire surfaces with highly efficient and cost-effective coatings:
- VESTOSINT® – Polyamide 12 powders for fluidized bed coating. Grades are available for all-purpose fluidized bed coating and specially developed for wire goods, in a range of colours.
- VESTAKEEP® 1000 UFP5 – Unreinforced, low-viscosity polyether ether ketone ultra-fine powder for coatings applied by the tribo method or in suspension. The semi-crystalline polymer features thermal and chemical resistance with a melting temperature of 340 °C.
Versatile Additives for Customization
Adapt your formulation with multifunctional additives for unique performance needs:
- TEGO® Twin – Dual-function additives for improved compatibility and efficiency.
- TEGO® Rad – Additives tailored for radiation-curable systems.
- TEGO® Variplus – Versatile modifiers for enhanced formulation flexibility.
- VPS 4721 – Epoxy-functional silane resin that bonds organic polymers to glass and metal surfaces.
- VPS 7163 – Isocyanurato silane and strong crosslinker with high thermal stability.
- DYNAPOL® – Saturated copolyesters in low, medium and high molecular weight for coatings, with matching catalysts and thermosetting one-pack polyurethane systems based on blocked polyisocyanate resins.
- → DEGACRYL® – Solvent-based and water-based binders for heat seal lacquers.
- Di-iso-Butene – High-purity branched C8 olefin with a minimum content of 99.5 % trimethylpentene, used as an intermediate for the production of resins, organic acids and antioxidants.
