In the formulation of coatings and inks, surface control additives are important additives and are crucial to the surface effect of the finished coating. They not only improve flow and leveling, but also reduce the friction coefficient. , increase slipperiness, enhance scratch resistance, and even make the paint surface achieve a special feel.
On the one hand, surface control additives balance the surface tension during the drying process to achieve uniform flow and leveling, reducing surface roughness; on the other hand, they help form a flat and smooth coating film during the drying process, increasing slippery and other special properties. Evonik’s coating additives launches TEGO® Two new products in the Glide series are TEGO® Glide 4168 and TEGO® Glide 4568.
New products achieve greater cost effectiveness
TEGO® Glide 4168 is a polyether silicone product with long-lasting excellent slip and scratch resistance, and can prevent shrinkage. TEGO® Glide 4568 As a polyether silicone product, it has excellent leveling, slippery and scratch resistance. Two new products are new members of the TEGO® Glide series, specially developed to improve cost-effectiveness.
Continue to promote the localization process
The two new products will be produced at the organically modified siloxane factory within Evonik's multi-user base in Shanghai. Localized production ensures flexible and rapid product supply, ensuring a more diversified product portfolio and product solutions that are closer to customers for our local customers.
