TEGO® AddBondFood contact suitability is FDA certified

Reduce paint viscosity

      EvonikThe industry group is the latest to introduce adhesion resins TEGO® AddBond LP 1600 and LP 1611 for use in paint formulations. The product has excellent flow properties and is suitable for food contact. These two adhesion resins reduce viscosity without increasing the volatile organic compound (VOC) content of the coating and are suitable for high solids formulations. In addition, its active content of up to 100% reduces storage and transportation costs.

       液态的TEGO® AddBond LP co-resin is a polyester resin designed in response to existing coating systems, especially developed for high solids systems (such as two-part polyurethane systems, two-part epoxy systems, stoving lacquers or alkyd formulations). The resin is especially suitable for industrial products operating in open environments, including large vehicles, ships and general industrial machinery. Among the above applications, longevity, weather resistance and chemical resistance are of the most concern. In addition, AddBond LP resins are FDA 175.300 certified and suitable for food contact. TEGO® AddBond LP 1600 and LP 1611 meet the requirements of the Swiss Consumer Goods Regulations (Swiss A) for printing inks for packaging. Both resins are not classified as dangerous goods and can be handled safely.

        TEGO® AddBond LP 1600 和TEGO® AddBond LP 1611The difference is their inherent viscosity, LP 1611 has a slightly higher viscosity than LP 1600, but has a lower impact on the hardness of the final system and therefore less on the mechanical properties of the surface. Compared to LP 1611, LP 1600 has a lower viscosity and therefore lower VOC content。

       Increasing global restrictions on VOC emissions have resulted in coatings manufacturers being increasingly restricted in their choice of raw materials, so they are constantly looking for new ways to adjust their formulations. Evonik continues to expand its product portfolio in the field of additives and resins to meet customer needs. The company's recently launched liquid abrasive resin, TEGO® VariPlus LK, can significantly reduce the VOC content of colorants。
