Biosurfactants Coating Additives

TEGO® Wet Terra Biosurfactants for Coatings

Surfactants are indispensable for coatings and inks, but are usually based on fossil raw materials. TEGO® Wet 570 Terra and TEGO® Wet 580 Terra biosurfactants are produced from 100 % plant-based raw materials by fermentation, and they decompose without leaving any residues that are harmful to health or the environment.

Mass balancing

TEGO® Wet 270 eCO and TEGO® Foamex 812 eCO are the first two products using the mass balance approach.

They provide the same high-performing defoamer and wetting agent properties to coating and ink formulators as the fossil based versions, but with a reduced carbon footprint.

TEGO® Therm for more Efficient Insulation Coatings

Insulation coatings based on TEGO® Therm products substantially reduce energy loss, and provide occupational health and safety, because they can significantly reduce the temperature of hot surfaces (safe touch).

They provide protection against moisture penetration and therefore corrosion under insulation (CUI). TEGO® Therm line can be easily applied just by spraying, making it easy to insulate also appliances and components with complex geometries.

TEGO® Res 1100 for Better Deinking

Our TEGO® Res 1100 co-binder enhances the deinking process for plastic packaging waste, ensuring high-quality recyclates and promoting circularity.

This innovative solution allows for easy modification of solventborne ink formulations, facilitating effective recycling without disrupting existing processes. Join us in driving true circularity!

What sustainability looks like for Coating Additives and for our customers

Increasing sustainable value in coatings and inks to support our customers drives our solutions.

At Evonik Coating Additives, we use different analyses for the measurability of sustainability:

Portfolio Sustainability Analysis (PSA): The PSA is a framework to evaluate the sustainability profile of our products and production processes. We use the PSA to capture increasing stakeholders’ expectations, turn socio environmental risks into business opportunities and foster our portfolio transformation. It is applicable to existing products & services as well as innovation projects. Products with a positive sustainability profile are outlined as Next Gen Solutions.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): LCA is a methodical analysis of the environmental impact of a product or service with the purpose of making sustainability quantifiable. Using life cycle assessment methods, key metrics such as carbon and water footprints are generated to show environmental impacts of our business activities.
