Evonik launches TEGO® Therm series products to help thermal insulation coatings to be more efficient and energy-saving

● Improve thermal insulation properties and durability of coatings

● Water-based formula, sprayable, cost-effective

● Improve construction environment safety and energy efficiency

Evonik has launched a new TEGO® Therm customized product line, which can significantly improve the performance of thermal insulation coatings (TIC) to meet sustainable needs. TEGO® The Therm product line consists of two silica-based microporous particle products TEGO® Therm HPG 4000 and TEGO® Therm HPG 6806, and TEGO® Therm L 300, a waterborne resin based on silicone technology.

High performance, sustainable

Three new products from Evonik's coating additives business line have outstanding thermal insulation and heat resistance even at high temperatures of 250°C, and endow coating products with excellent performance and sustainable advantages: based on TEGO® Thermal insulation coatings from Therm products significantly reduce energy loss and significantly reduce the temperature of hot surfaces (safe contact), thereby protecting the health of construction personnel and improving safety during construction. Insulation coatings are also moisture resistant, preventing corrosion inside the insulation (CUI) and greatly extending the life of the coated surface.

As a new generation of thermal insulation coating raw materials, TEGO® Therm is suitable for a variety of thermal insulation requirements, including pipes, tanks or other internal plant facilities. The first TEGO®-based Therm's granular products are commercially available for use in the fields of safe contact and corrosion protection. With this product line, Evonik hopes to offer customers in the building and vehicle manufacturing industries new insulation solutions.

Another advantage of thermal insulation coatings based on TEGO® Therm is the ease of application. Niko, Head of Thermal Management Coatings, Evonik Coating Additives Business Line Dr. Haberkorn said: "Traditional insulation systems such as rock wool are often time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is often difficult to provide adequate insulation for equipment and components, especially for complex geometries." High, will increase the energy loss. Additionally, such surfaces need to be protected against unwanted touches. In contrast, with the addition of TEGO® Coatings for Therm products are as simple as spraying on. Dr. Haberkorn added: "The spraying is possible even while the equipment is running, avoiding downtime and saving time and money."

TEGO® ThermNew Product Details

TEGO® Therm HPG 4000 granular products have a relatively large particle size of about 300 microns and have extremely low thermal conductivity at high temperatures; while TEGO® Therm HPG The particles of 6806 are finer (particle size about 30 microns), and a higher amount can be added to ensure a smooth surface of the paint. Both granular products provide excellent thermal insulation, provide mechanical stability and hydrophobicity, and their inorganic structure makes the products non-flammable.

The water-based resin TEGO® Therm L 300 can withstand high temperatures of 250°C (standard TIC resin: not higher than 160°C). Thanks to its excellent adhesion effect on various substrates, TEGO® Therm L 300 ensures exceptional toughness of the coating.

Depending on specific application needs, TEGO® Therm products can be used in combination or with other raw materials.

Evonik offers customers two granulate products that can be mixed for formulation samples for different applications. Markus Hallack, Head of Application Research for Thermal Management Coatings: "We recommend our customers to use TEGO® The combination of Therm granular products and heat-resistant resins is especially suitable for applications involving ultra-high temperature environments. "

Evonik High Performance TEGO® The Therm product line helps formulators optimize coating systems, enhance product performance, and improve long-term coating reliability. In addition, when customers from the traditional coating industry enter the thermal insulation material market, they can also choose TEGO® Therm starts a sustainable, safe and efficient technology route. This new product line is already available worldwide.
