Evonik offers a wealth of raw materials for the coatings and adhesives industries. Thanks to our broad knowledge of the market and close cooperation with our customers, we can help coatings manufacturers enhance their formulations and respond to their customers’ needs. Environmental pressures, technological innovations, production and performance challenges are but a few of the drivers our products are designed to address.

Our world-famous brands – ACEMATT®, AEROSIL®, SURFYNOL®, TEGO®, and ZEOLEX®, among others – comprise an extensive coating additives portfolio that consists of traditional additives (defoamers, deaerators, dispersants, etc.), matting agents, rheology modifiers, extenders, co-binders, and resins (incl. silicone-based and nanotechnology). These novel products for a variety of coatings, such as decorative coatings, industrial coatings, automotive coatings, and printing inks deliver real value for our customers.

Additionally, our crosslinkers business offers a broad range of products and competences for coatings and adhesives. As a pioneer in isophorone chemistry, our products cover the entire value chain: isophorone, diamine, as well as di-isocyanate and polyisocyanate. The crosslinkers product portfolio also contains a full range of amine curing agents for ambient and heat cure applications. These products are mainly used in industrial applications due to the mechanical strength, durability, chemical resistance and excellent adhesion properties in coatings, adhesives, and civil engineering.
