TEGO Guard 9000, a new technology for exterior wall paints, has been recognized for its unique quick-set property with the Ringier Technology Innovation Award – Coating Industry, a prestigious award for innovation in the coatings industry that has been presented since 2006.
The jury praised Evonik’s new technology, which improves the stabilization of paint ingredients in facade coatings directly after application, providing almost immediate protection against weathering.
The quick-set property of TEGO Guard 9000 is achieved by electrostatic interaction between a cationic organic polymer and the anionic paint ingredients in the coating formulation.
This provides high rain resistance within minutes of application, reduces the moisture content of substrates and surfaces, and inhibits moss and mold growth. TEGO Guard 9000 can be incorporated into coating formulations without compromising storage stability and can be used in a wide range of latex systems, different PVCs and color formulations.
“TEGO Guard 9000 is a breakthrough technology for exterior wall paints,” said Dr. Katina Kiep, head of global decorative coatings market segment at Evonik Coating Additives.
“With its quick-set property, it provides a sustainable solution for architectural facade coatings, reducing the impact of weathering on the application process and increasing the durability and long-term protection,” added Dr. Kiep. “We are honored to receive this award and extremely proud of the ingenuity our team demonstrated in developing this product.”
