Plastic Coatings

Coat with Confidence: Evonik’s High-Performance Solutions for Plastic Surfaces

Plastic surfaces demand more than just coverage - they require coatings that bond, protect, and perform under pressure. Whether you're formulating for automotive interiors, consumer electronics, or industrial components, Evonik delivers the chemistry for adhesion, curing, surface control and appearance.

Our advanced additives, resins, and surface modifiers empower formulators to achieve adhesion, durability, and aesthetics across a wide range of plastic substrates - including challenging low-energy surfaces.

Why Choose Evonik for Plastic Coatings?

  • Proven Performance: Trusted brands like VISIOMER®, TEGO®, VESTANAT® and Dynasylan® ensure reliable adhesion, flow, crosslinking and curing.
  • Low-VOC and Solvent-Free Options: The high molecular weight of VPS 4721 compared with standard epoxy silanes reduces VOC in formulations. TEGO® Addbond LP 1600 and LP 1611 are solvent-free and suitable for high-solids coating systems. TEGO® Wet 270 eCO applies the mass balance approach to replace fossil by circular raw materials.
  • Tailored Functionality: From adhesion primers to radiation-curable systems, our portfolio adapts to your coating challenges.

Solutions by Application

Adhesion Primers

  • Dynasylan® – Silane-based adhesion promoters that improve bonding to plastics, especially polyolefins and engineering polymers.
  • TEGO® Addbond – Polyester resins designed to enhance adhesion between coatings and difficult substrates.
  • VISIOMER® MADAME / DMAPMA – Specialty Methacrylates that boost substrate compatibility and primer performance.

Radiation-Curing Coatings

  • VISIOMER® – Specialty Methacrylates like IBOA and HEMATMDI enable fast curing, scratch resistance, and high gloss in UV-curable systems.
  • NANOCRYL® / NANOPOL® – Nanocomposite resins for enhanced mechanical properties and surface protection.
  • VPS – Multifunctional silanes for adhesion promotion, crosslinking and surface modification. They bond chemically to inorganic substrates such as glass and metals as well as to organic polymers.

Surface & Appearance Control

  • ACEMATT® – Matting agents for consistent low-gloss finishes and surface texture control.
  • AEROSIL® – Silica dispersions and powders for rheology control, anti-settling, and improved flow.
  • SURFYNOL® / TEGO® Dispers – Wetting and dispersing agents that ensure smooth application and pigment stability.
  • TEGO® Glide - Excellent slip and touch properties without compromising recoatability and compatibility.
  • ZETASPERSE® – Dispersants for high pigment loading and long-term stability in solventborne and waterborne systems.

Crosslinkers

  • VESTANAT® IPDI – Cycloaliphatic diisocyanate, a preferred raw material for the synthesis of lightstable and weather-resistant polyurethanes. VESTANAT® TMDI – Aliphatic, methyl group branched diisocyanate.

The Evonik Advantage

  • Solvent-Free Options: TEGO® Addbond LP 1600 and LP 1611 as well as TEGO® Dispers 689 are solvent-free.
  • Circular Raw Materials: TEGO® Wet 270 eCO applies the mass balance approach to replace fossil by circular raw materials, with the same performance as the conventional grade.
  • Expert Support: Our specialists collaborate with you to optimize coating performance and streamline formulation.
