Evonik’s TEGO Guard 9000, a new technology for exterior wall paints, has been awarded the prestigious Ringier Technology Innovation Award – Coating Industry for its unique quick-set property. This award recognizes innovation in the coatings industry and has been presented since 2006.
The quick-set property of TEGO Guard 9000 is achieved through electrostatic interaction between a cationic organic polymer and the anionic paint ingredients in the coating formulation. This results in high rain resistance within minutes of application, reduces moisture content on substrates and surfaces, and prevents moss and mold growth. The technology can be added to coating formulations without affecting storage stability and is compatible with a wide range of latex systems, various PVCs, and color formulations.
