The new product from Evonik has been specifically developed for high-quality industrial and automotive clearcoats.

The Coating Additives business line of the German company Evonik has expanded its TEGO® Flow series with a new efficient polyacrylate-based levelling agent that provides anti-popping properties and good compatibility for solvent-borne clearcoats destined the automotive and general industrial sectors.

Very easy to process due to its low viscosity, the new product from Evonik consists of 100 percent active matter content and is based on a unique polymer technology. So, it is particularly easy to incorporate into the formulation. TEGO Flow 380 also ensures excellent re-coatability and shows excellent performance even at low dosages, besides emitting little VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds).

“The key here is controlled incompatibility. With TEGO Flow 380, we have balanced the incompatibility well, resulting in an excellent performance. Furthermore, it can be used directly as dilution is not necessary,” has explained Maximilian Morin, the head of the Industrial & Transportation Coatings market segment of Evonik.
