Evonik Launches TEGO®

Evonik Coating Additives presented two defoamers, TEGO® Foamex 16 and TEGO® Foamex 11, at the American Coatings Show in Indianapolis. The company state that these new additives are designed to improve the sustainability and performance of waterborne architectural coatings.

Evonik explain that TEGO® Foamex 16 is a siloxane-based defoamer concentrate that provides an exceptional balance of defoaming efficiency and compatibility, particularly for low to medium PVC coatings. TEGO® Foamex 11, a siloxane-based defoamer emulsion, is optimized for high PVC coatings. With 15 percent active ingredient, it is a highly effective, more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional mineral oil-based defoamers.

These products meet the growing demand for sustainable solutions that deliver exceptional performance. By setting a new industry standard, we are demonstrating that it is possible to achieve outstanding results while meeting the most stringent environmental regulations.” said Michael Zink, Head of Evonik Coating Additives Americas.
