Evonik has launched two new hydrophobing agents. TEGO Phobe 1659 and TEGO Phobe 1409 – the new high-performance hydrophobing agents – protect high-quality façades from weather, water, and dirt.
Features and Benefits of TEGO Phobe 1659:
The innovative silicone resin technology balances hardness and silicone character
It increases efficiency and significantly reduces dirt pick-up.
The reduced silicone concentration on the surface makes extremely low dirt pick-up possible
Due to improved wetting characteristics and the interaction with pigments and fillers better distribution of the silicone resin is achieved
The required dosage of TEGO® Phobe 1659 can be reduced without impairing water resistance
Besides increasing customer expectations with regard to water resistance, regulations and consumer perceptions are changing. The possibility for the use of biocides in architectural paints is diminishing.
Features and Benefits of TEGO Phobe 1409:
It is an amino-functional polysiloxane
Generates a water repellency effect
Helps in faster drying of the façade
Reduces susceptibility to the growth of algae and moss
The new generation of hydrophobing agents can be used without restriction in formulations that must meet the stringent requirements of various eco-labels such as Ecolabel or Blue Angel.
