Additives
Besides binders, pigments and solvents, coatings and inks in the
majority of cases also contain additives.
Additives are used to prevent defects or to achieve special properties in coatings. It is almost impossible to obtain these properties
using other raw materials. Additives have the reputation of
problem solvers and property enhancers and nowadays are
regularly used in all coatings formulations. They play a key role
in the development of new coating systems and their importance
is steadily growing as a result of higher quality standards and the
switch to environmentally friendly formulations. More and more
additives are the components that determine whether a coating is
marketable or not. In the majority of cases, additives are responsible for important properties such as gloss, color stability, adhesion
or a smooth surface.
With innovative products Evonik offers a wide range of tailormade problem solvers for the coatings and printing inks industry.
The product range of Evonik embraces defoamers, deaerators,
wetting and dispersing additives, surface control additives, substrate
wetting additives, radiation-curing additives, rheological additives,
adhesion promoters, hydrophobing agents, anti-settling agents,
anti-oxidants as well as different kinds of resins.

among the biggest brands in the national
and international additives sector and are
based on in-depth expertise.

TEGO Foamex defoamers prevent and

destroy foam during manufacture and
application of water borne coatings and
printing inks.

TEGO Dispers wetting and dispersing

additives promote pigment wetting and
stabilization, prevent ooding, oating and
hard-settling of pigments. They ensure
low viscosities at high pigment loads and
improve color strength, gloss and hiding
power or transparency.

TEGO Glide & Flow are surface control

additives for improving leveling, slip and
scratch resistance. In addition these products prevent craters and pigment oating.

TEGO Airex deaerators prevent microfoam and pinhole formation. They are very
important in high viscosity and high solids
systems, in UV coatings and inks and absolutely essential for airless application.

TEGO Wet substrate wetting additives

allow coatings and inks to wet out various
kinds of surfaces, even those with very
low surface energies. Surface defects such
as crawling and craters are thereby eliminated; ow, leveling and adhesion of the
coating lm are improved.

The TEGO Rad range comprises crosslinkable, acrylate-functional additives

for radiation-curing formulations. They
are surface control additives, improving
slip, scratch resistance, ow, leveling and
release and even defoaming.
The TEGO ViscoPlus product line consists
of associative polyurethane thickeners,
meeting the latest industry requirements.
They adjust the specic rheological prole
of waterborne coatings according to the
application needs.

Additives
Fumed silica and silanes
AEROSIL fumed silica is widely used to control the rheology of
liquid paints and coatings. In addition AEROSIL prevents hardsettling in coating systems containing color pigments, llers or
matting agents as well as in corrosion protection paints based on
zinc dust or micaceous iron oxide. AEROSIL fumed silica and
other fumed metal oxides such as AEROXIDE Alu C, a fumed
aluminum oxide, provide many benets to powder coatings,
e. g. they reduce undesired static charge, prevent from moisture
pick-up and thus optimize the ow behavior of the powder coatings. In tribopowders AEROXIDE Alu C increases the positive
charge during the application. Furthermore, AEROSIL fumed
metal oxides are applied to a broad variety of coatings systems to
enhance their scratch and mar resistance.
Dynasylan silanes are a versatile group of additives offering
many advantages in different coating applications. They act as surface modiers to provide better paint adhesion even on difcult
to coat substrates. Used as co-monomers and hardeners in sol-gel
or hybrid coatings Dynasylan silanes impart enhanced durability as well as scratch resistance. Dynasylan silicic acid esters nd
their use in zinc rich paints for highly corrosive environements.

With the water based Dynasylan HYDROSIL range of products

it is possible to benet from all the advantages silanes offer for
the industry without giving up on environmental conscience and
comlying with ever tightening VOC regulations. Multifunctional
Silane Systems of the Dynasylan SIVO series combine different effects of traditional Dynasylan products in just one product.
If it comes to environmental friendly corrosion protection SIVO
SOL Technology is the solution of choice. In a modular concept
a ne-tuned toolbox of products are offered which provide heavy
metal and uoride free conversion as well as passivation on any
kind of metal substrate ranging from steel, zinc to aluminium.
Protectosil products are advantagely used to impregnate
building facades to protect them against the dentrimental effect
of penetrating water. Additionally, surfaces stay cleaner after
impregnation and even can be rendered unsusceptible against
grafti attack.

TAA-derivatives

Polyamide 12 fine powders

Evonik produces a range of reactive TAA-derivatives which are

used as efcient, long-time stabilizers. By preventing degradation
by radicals TAA-derivatives maintain product quality.

VESTOSINT ne powder particles act as impact absorbers and

prevent the surface from cracking. They work in much the same
way as impact modiers for plastics. The abrasion resistance is
improved by the chemical bonding between the polyamide
particles and the coating resins. VESTOSINT powders can be
incorporated into both hot-curing and cold-curing coatings,
solvent as well as aqueous systems. The resulting coatings have
a high exural strength, elasticity and very good abrasion
resistance. They feature a textured, matte surface, which can be
varied through the particle size and particle size distribution of
VESTOSINT as well as by the amount of powder.

Synthetic waxes
The VESTOWAX product range covers a series of synthetic waxes
(polyethylene, Fischer-Tropsch, EVA copolymer and modied
polypropylene waxes) with a broad spectrum of applications.
VESTOWAX meets specic quality requirements and ensures an
optimum prole of properties of the respective end products: in
printing inks VESTOWAX leads to increased abrasion resistance,
in varnishes the products improve the scratch resistance of the
surface.

10

Approved both in Europe and the USA (FDA; Food and Drug
Administration) for food-contact applications, and for contact
with drinking water, VESTOSINT ne powders are excellent for
use as spacers in such applications as aluminum packaging lms.
They also reduce wear of the rollers in lm manufacturing.

Coloring
Evonik has long been the market leader and industry standard
in developing customer solutions for coloring applications. With
global production, service and support, Evonik has the broadest
product portfolio encompassing colorant and Carbon Black
Pigment technology for optimum customer solutions in ink, paint
and coatings applications. From the earliest colorants and pigment
dispersions to the latest developments in custom color systems,
Evonik is the global innovator in color technology and system
development.

Pigments
One major color for all different kinds of coatings and printing
ink applications is black. Evonik produces Carbon Black Pigments
in specially designed reactors under strictly controlled conditions.
This is where the main difference lies between carbon black and
soot from a home re place or from internal combustion engines.
Carbon Black Pigments (PRINTEX , NEROX , Special Black,
Colour Black) are produced throughout the world in seven
carbon black plants and Evonik supplies gas-, furnace-, and lamp
blacks.

In the gas black process, a hydrogen containing carrier gas is

pumped over hot creosote and burned incompletely by numerous
small ames. The Carbon Black Pigments produced by this
process feature excellent neness and a very narrow particle size
distribution.

12

In the furnace black process, the liquid raw material is fed through
nozzles into a ame of hot air and natural gas and degraded by
thermal oxidation at high temperatures. The properties of the
Carbon Black Pigments formed can be controlled by quenching.
The furnace black process features a wide range of variations
with regard to the raw materials used and the properties of the
Carbon Black Pigments.
Carbon Black Pigments obtained by the lamp black process are
unrivalled for some elds of application. Lamp blacks feature
large primary particle, a wide primary particle distribution and
hence low agglomeration and high tamped densities.
All Carbon Black Pigments can be used for printing and coating
systems, e. g. antistatic coatings, high jet OEM and renish
coatings, UV protection coatings and all kinds of inks like e. g.
packaging and UV curing inks.
Our sodium aluminium silicate Sipernat 820 A adds a touch of
class to dispersion paints by increasing whiteness and dry coverage, while improving resistance to weather exposure and greatly
facilitating application. It even partially replaces white pigments
in solvent-based lacquers without decreasing coverage. The slight
level of thixotropy achieved makes the paint spread more easily
on application and prevents it from running on vertical surfaces.
Furthermore it is appreciated as a cost effective matting agent in
silk gloss paints.

Evonik also offers pigment preparations in granular form. The
pigment is incorporated into a resin matrix by a newly developed
production process. The nal INXEL pigment preparations consist of granules that can be mixed in a solvent or a blend of resin
and solvent directly without sophisticated dispersion equipment.

The granules provide dust-free handling and can be dosed very

easily. The resin that is used in order to generate the preparations
is soluble in all common paint solvents. It is compatible with many
coating raw materials. The INXEL pigment preparations are
based on selected high quality pigments.

Crosslinkers
Evonik is one of the leading suppliers of high performance crosslinkers to the coatings industry. Evonik crosslinkers play an important role in all major modern coatings technologies.

VESTAGON HA 320 and EP HA 376 are used for weather resistant exterior coatings as well as cost effective interior decorative
powder coatings based upon COOH-polyesters.

Recently Evonik expanded its product portfolio of aliphatic polyisocyanates for 2K (two-component) PUR applications with the
addition of HDI-derivatives of the biuret and isocyanurate type
(VESTANAT HB, -HT). IPDI trimer is well established in fastdrying 2K systems under the trade name VESTANAT T 1890.

In addition, Evonik manufactures 1,12-dodecanedioic acid which

is used as a crosslinker in glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) based
powder coatings. Due to its melt characteristics it enables excellent
ow and high reactivity, especially of clear-coats.

Blocked polyisocyanates (VESTANAT B range) are used in liquid

1K thermosetting systems for automotive or PCM (pre-coated
metal) applications.

Evonik offers the most versatile portfolio of powder coating

crosslinkers for exterior applications including blocked PUR crosslinkers (VESTAGON B), blocking agent-free PUR crosslinkers
(VESTAGON BF) and hydroxyalkylamide hardeners
(VESTAGON HA).
The -caprolactam blocked types such as VESTAGON B 1400 and
B 1530 dominate the anti-grafti and lawn & garden markets.
The uretdione based BF products show their outstanding performance in the transfer print technology obtaining matte and
smooth surfaces with superior DOI. Furthermore the specially
designed EP-BF 9030 in addition with the catalyst SC 5050 open
up new application elds for weather stable powder coatings e. g.
on heat sensitive substrates combined with dramatic energy cost
savings.

18

Aliphatic diamines of the VESTAMIN range are industry-standard

crosslinkers for epoxy systems, often in a formulated manner.
Typical applications are industrial oorings, marine paints and highperformance composites.
Functional silanes of the Dynasylan type can be hydrolized rapidly
by moisture and undergo self-crosslinking or further condensation
with prepolymers. Especially aminosilanes are used as curing agents
for silicone-epoxy resins. Waterborne silane systems may be used
in metal pre-treatment for corrosion inhibition. Silane crosslinking
typically leads to an improvement in the wear resistance of the
coating due to the stability of the Si-O-Si network.
As specialized crosslinking agents Evonik offers a unique range of
bi-, tri- and tetrafunctional chemicals and phenylbisoxazolines.

Matting
ACEMATT matting agents from Evonik can alter the surface in
such a way that the light is scattered in a dened fashion. The
matting agent particle stands out from the paint invisible to the
human eye. Neither the color of the paint nor the base (in the
case of clear coating) is changed to any great extent. For the coatings industry, Evonik offers various matting agents which have
carried the trade name ACEMATT since 1995. Fundamental
requirements for matting agents are: ready dispersibility, good
suspension behavior, little inuence on rheological properties and
high transparency of the matted coatings. Evonik offers thermal
silica, untreated and surface-treated precipitated silica for various
applications.
Recently a new one-shot matting technology for exterior durable
powder coatings was developed by Evonik: PUR powder coatings
are also perfectly adjusted to low gloss levels by addition of
VESTAGON EP-R 4030, a crystalline polyester resin.
Silk matt effects in waterborne, solventborne and in powder
coatings are achieved by adding a micronized wax of the
VESTOWAX series.

Resin Components
More than 80 years of methacrylate experience and over 35 years as global pioneer
of the isophorone chemistry are the joint
basis for Evoniks excellent position as
global supplier to the modern resin industry. Evonik offers a broad and versatile
toolkit of raw materials, consisting of highperformance monomers as well as especially designed oligomers and polymers.
These raw materials are essential for all
innovative and environmentally friendly
technologies like high solids, waterborne,
UV curable and powder coatings, as well
as for modern sealant and adhesive systems.
Evoniks methacrylate monomers are
now offered under the global trademark
VISIOMER. Beside base monomers like
VISIOMER MMA, VISIOMER BMA
and Hydroxy Methacrylates Evonik offers
a broad range of over 50 specialty methacrylate monomers for the optimization of
important coatings properties like weatherability, chemical and scratch resistance, wet
adhesion and durability.

22

Resins based on VISIOMER help formulators to complying with the increasingly

stringent VOC directives for coatings. Our
monomers support innovative solutions for
a range of coatings systems and technologies. Bulky side chain monomers like e. g.
VISIOMER IBOMA are used in high solid
systems. The performance of aqueous
coatings is improved by post-crosslinking
after application at room temperature.
Evonik is developing solutions based on
different technologies. Crosslinking is
initiated by light, auto-oxidation or a condensation reaction. VISIOMER BPMA
and VISIOMER MUMA are the recommended new developments for these
technologies.
Evonik, well known for its isophorone
chemistry, recently expanded its range of
aliphatic and cycloaliphatic diisocyanate
monomers by dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, VESTANAT H12-MDI. This
comprehensive set offers the optimal solution for any type of light-stable and non-

yellowing urethane resin, like waterborne

PUR-dispersions, radiation curable urethane-acrylates, TPU, etc. Polyisocyanates
of the VESTANAT T- und HT-range are
also suitable for the manufacture of prepolymers, especially for moisture-curing
systems.
Evoniks aliphatic diamines VESTAMIN
IPD and TMD, also members of the isophorone family, are commonly used as raw
materials for epoxy hardeners and also as
chain extenders in PUR-chemistry.
The broad range of Dynasylan functional
silanes, alkylsilanes and silicic acid esters
is an excellent and versatile toolkit for
the design and synthesis of polysiloxanes,
silicone resins or systems for sol-gel-type
processes. Dynasylan silanes are not just
raw materials for inorganic resins and
materials but are also used as monomers in
resins synthesis, including acrylic dispersions or silane-terminated polyesters or
polyurethanes for sealants.

Evonik has been developing acrylate and methacrylate-based

raw materials for coatings since the 1930s. This leads to the
manufacture of acryl polymer in solution, acryl polymer dispersions/emulsions and acrylic resins in solid form that have been
readily accepted by the paint and lacquer industry.

They are used in hard yet exible coil and can coatings for precoated metal applications. The broad product range is used for
top coats, primers and backing coats for interior and exterior
architectural coatings, home appliances, metal ofce furnitures,
lighting xtures, car and truck applications as well as for numerous types of coatings for metal packaging. Light and weatherresistant coil coatings are formulated with various super-durable
DYNAPOL grades and highly exible VESTICOAT UB, blocked
polyester/polyurethane systems.

The production capacities at the Worms, Darmstadt and Wesseling sites of Evonik are nowadays among the largest in Europe for
coatings raw materials on a methacrylate base. The product line
Coating Resins of Evonik offers a wide range of standard and
specialty binders under the trademark DEGALAN.
The major elds of application of DEGALAN are architectural
paints, marine and container paints, road markings, metal coatings, plastic coatings, printing inks, concrete coatings, Aerosol
paints, PVC-top coatings and ceramic transfer lacquers.
DEGALAN products show convincing performance in all applications that call for extreme weather resistance, scratch resistance,
colorfastness and high brilliance. In cooperation with its customers, the product line Coating Resins of Evonik develops new
products for innovative applications. These joint developments
lead to new coating raw materials tailored to the needs of individual end consumers.

The polyester diols of the DYNACOLL series are versatile and

essential building blocks for reactive hotmelts. The broad range
from highly crystalline to amorphous grades at various molecular
weights is the basis for tailor-made solutions for the adhesive
industry.

Silicone-based Resins

Specialty Resins

Silicone-based binders are a product range

on their own. These products embrace the
brands SILIKOPHEN, SILIKOPON and
SILIKOFTAL.

This product group embraces a variety of

highly sophisticated resins that are commonly used as cobinders in coatings, inks
and pigment concentrates. These resins
are based on different technologies, such
as special polyester resins, ketone aldehyde resins as well as polyurethane resins.
Among other things the products improve
adhesion, ow behavior and other lm
properties.

SILIKOPHEN resins provide corrosion

protection up to 650 C, whereas the
SILIKOFTAL resins combine heat stability
and exibility for cook and bakeware
applications. The SILIKOPON grades are
the basis for isocyanate-free 2pack airdrying anti-corrosion coatings.
The co-binders TEGO Protect provide
anti-grafti and easy-to-clean properties in
polyurethane coatings.

26

The ketone aldehyde resins, e. g. TEGO

VariPlus SK improve hardness, adhesion to
several different substrates and drying and
are non-saponiable and lightfast. Because
of their good pigment-wetting properties,
pigment loading capacity is increased so
that even at high pigmentation an excellent gloss can still be obtained. For universal pigment concentrates TEGO VariPlus
UC is highly recommended. This resin
features nearly universal solubility and
compatibility.

With the ketone aldehyde resin TEGO

VariPlus TC and theaqueous PU-dispersion TEGO VariPlus DS 50, pigment
concentrates can be created which are
compatible with a number of different
binders. TEGO VariPlus TC is suitable for
solventborne, TEGO VariPlus DS 50 for
waterborne formulations. The combination of TEGO VariPlus TC with TEGO
Dispers 710 achieves the highest level of
color strength.
TEGO AddBond LTH and LTW are
designed for a number of coating systems.
These supplementary resins are applied in
order to improve the long-term adhesion
of different coatings. An improvement in
adhesion can be achieved to several metallic and and plastic substrates. At the same
time better exibility can be obtained
even at low temperatures.
