● For water-based ink and coating applications, using unique new mixing technology

● Comply with multiple food contact regulations
Evonik is expanding its portfolio of TEGO® Foamex coating additives with the launch of new TEGO® Foamex
8880 defoaming agent. The product uses a unique blend of bio-based polymers and polyethersiloxanes.
TEGO® Foamex 8880 can be easily added to water-based inks at any stage of ink production, including on-site addition on the printing production line (trough edge addition), and has excellent foam suppression and defoaming properties.
Courtney, Global Marketing Director for Printing Inks, Evonik’s Coating Additives Business Line
Thurau said: “Different technologies have different advantages. Traditional silicone defoaming agent emulsions are usually added during the ink adjustment stage, but are not necessarily the first choice for on-site use in the printing production line.”
TEGO® Foamex 8880 is a non-ionic emulsion with a high content of bio-based materials in the solids content (more than 50%). It is solvent and mineral oil free and complies with many food contact regulations.
“With the launch of this new defoamer, we are better able to support our customers in developing environmentally friendly, resource-saving coating and ink formulations. Thanks to its unique properties, TEGO® Foamex
8880 is ideal for use with water-based flexo and gravure inks on paper or board substrates. “Courtney Thurau added.
Evonik’s Coating Additives business line offers a rich product portfolio for printing ink applications. This business line also has a broad portfolio of coatings and paint formulations for automotive, architectural, industrial and other applications.
