Evonik for Construction Industry
From the roof to the foundation, and from protecting ancient national treasures to building the cities of the future, Evonik has products and solutions for use in almost all aspects of construction.
Architectural paint and coatings
SIPERNAT® 820 A is a precipitated synthetic silicate with exceptional brightness. The highly structured particles provide film reinforcement, TiO2 spacing, sheen uniformity, and excellent dry opacity.
SPHERILEX® is a precipitated amorphous silica with uniquely spherical particle shape and very narrow particle size distribution. This provide architectural paints additional mechanical resistances to improve the durability.
Highly efficient defoamers based on different chemistries to provide outstanding defoaming effect to paints. E.g. TEGO Foamex 10 is a defoamer emulsion especially developed for architectural coatings.
Treating surfaces – such as exterior walls – with water-repellent materials is an effective method of protection from weathering. To achieve outstanding hydrophobization, different types of silicone chemistries are used. TEGO® Phobe products are optimized for proper hydrophobization of waterborne exterior paints and primers.
Bitumen/asphalt modification
TEGO® ADDIBIT additives provide solutions for today's requirements such as durability, reduction of emissions and energy consumption, and thus support sustainable road construction and maintenance.
VESTENAMER® has been used as an additive in the rubber industry for years. By virtue of its properties, the versatile polyoctenamer can solve a variety of problems in the compounding and processing of rubber. It can also improve the dynamic properties of the vulcanized material and as well be used to recycle waste rubber.
Building protection
PROTECTOSIL® products are well known and valued as water repellents, easy-to-clean, anti-graffiti, corrosion protection and stone consolidation products since decades. They protect all kinds of mineral surfaces from damaging effects and provide special properties such as increased durability and resistance for these materials.
SITREN® is Evonik's brand name for various powder and liquid additives including defoaming, air entrainment, shrinkage reduction, water repellency and mould release.
TEGOSIVIN® contains a broad range of well-established water repellents. Main focus is the integral use of these liquid additives within mineral building materials like e.g. concrete.
Concrete/Flooring
Evonik's ANCAMINE® portfolio offers a range of cycloaliphatic and N-alkylated amine technologies.Used with liquid epoxy resin for high performance primers, sealers and emission compliant floorings.
Evonik’s broad portfolio of liquid and powder additives enables the product of superior mineral flooring products like self-levelling underlayment, tile adhesives etc.
TEGO® Airex offers a broad range of deaerator technologies developed to combat both micro- and macrofoam.E.g. TEGO® Airex 900 is a strong deaerator concentrate that combats both micro- and macro-foam. Very suitable for high build and high-viscosity applications. Fast and efficient foam break, excellent for 2K epoxy systems.
VESTAMIN® is a product range of specific amines suitable for the formulation of epoxy curing agents. They find their applications where concrete protection against chemical attack and mechanical impact is required.
Thermal insulation
Under the DABCO® brand, Evonik provides an extensive portfolio of different amine catalysts. Amine catalysts are highly important to the balance between the various reactions during the polyurethane foam formation.
The ORTEGOL® product range includes an extensive toolbox of processing aids and performance enablers for a tailored solution.
Evonik's POLYCAT® brand includes a large variety of special catalysts that facilitate high performance reactions to meet the demands in applications such as spray foam and CASE applications.
TEGOSTAB® is Evonik's global surfactants' brand. Under this name, you can find a large variety of different surfactants for use in all major polyurethane applications e.g. rigid, flexible slabstock, molded and high-density foams.
