Other Industrial Applications

Evonik 2-Ethylhexyl Cyanoacetate (2-EHCA) plays a pivotal role as a key building block in the manufacturing of Octocrylene, a highly versatile UV-absorbent. Furthermore, it functions as a stabilizer for other UV-filters, such as Avobenzene. Notably, Octocrylene holds FDA approval, making it one of the select UV-absorbents endorsed for use.

TEGO® Antifoam 2291 is a silicone-free, self-emulsifying antifoam concentrate without any silica. This APEO-free organic antifoam is designed for use as an anti-foaming agent in waterborne adhesive formulations, aligning with eco-friendly labeling claims. Categorized under CASE ingredients within foam control additives.

Evonik Modifier 705 refers to SiH-terminated polydimethyl siloxanes utilized as plasticizers in addition-curing silicones. Due to their difunctional structure, these products do not crosslink but extend the chains of vinyl-terminated silicone polymers (Polymer VS). The use of these modifiers reduces crosslinking density and, consequently, the elastomer's hardness.

TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 is a self-emulsifying organic antifoam concentrate, free of APEOs, and based on food-grade vegetable oil It includes minor quantities of organo-modified siloxanes to enhance its efficiency. It functions as an anti-foaming agent and is well-suited for processes such as polymerization and suspension polymerization.

TEGO® Antifoam 1488 is a versatile emulsion-based anti-foaming agent tailored for various applications. It effectively controls foam formation in processes like emulsion polymerization and textile sizing. With good compatibility, it finds use in diverse industrial additives, including metalworking fluids and nonwovens. This emulsion-type additive is available in drums, catering to different production scales. Its performance spans markets like adhesives and sealants, fluids and lubricants, and building materials. TEGO® Antifoam 1488's role in polymer dispersions manufacturing adds to its versatility and value.

TEGO® Antifoam 2290 is a silicone-free, self-emulsifying antifoam concentrate without any silica. This APEO-free organic antifoam is designed for use as an anti-foaming agent in waterborne adhesive formulations, aligning with eco-friendly labeling claims. Categorized under CASE ingredients within foam control additives.

TEGO® Antifoam 2-89 is an antifoam emulsion formulated with organo-modified siloxanes. This product functions as an anti-foaming agent, offering good compatibility with industrial processes. It belongs to the Industrial Additives and Materials category within the Construction Chemicals product family and is specifically tailored for use in cement and concrete additives.

Evonik Polymer VS 1000 consists of vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes available in different viscosity levels and molecular weights, with an impressively low content of volatile constituents. These polymers serve as fundamental components in silicone formulations that cure through a platinum-catalyzed addition reaction with silicone crosslinkers containing SiH groups. The minimal presence of volatile constituents and the crosslinking mechanism ensure that curing shrinkage remains low, and no volatile or corrosive substances are generated during the curing process.

Evonik Crosslinker 110, part of the Crosslinker 100 series, consists of polydimethylsiloxanes containing SiH groups within the polymer chain. In addition to SiH groups within the chain, the Crosslinker 100 series features terminal SiH groups. These crosslinkers are essential components of polyaddition silicones. When working with two-component silicone formulations, it is crucial to maintain strict separation between Pt catalysts (e.g., Catalyst 500 series) and SiH crosslinkers to ensure proper performance.
