• TEGO Twin 4100

TEGO Twin 4100 extends siloxane additive technology to provide waterborne coating formulators with excellent wetting on difficult substrates (i.e. metal, wood and plastics). It also provides excellent defoaming and compatibility with sensitive resin systems. TEGO Twin 4100 demonstrates superior anti-cratering performance due to the multifunctional additives’ extraordinary surface tension reduction.

• TEGO Wet 240

TEGO Wet 240 is a highly effective substrate wetting additive (independent of co-solvent content) in spray-applied waterborne coatings systems which ensures fine atomization and defect free films even at minimal film thickness. The solvent-free TEGO Wet 240 is the first choice for spray-applied waterborne industrial coatings and coatings for plastics.
