Deaerator
Evonik oers an ecient deaerator package to prevent the formation of foams, air
inclusions, pinholes and surface defects like sh eyes and craters. The products are
intended to be used during manufacturing and/or in the application process of
unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins. Due to there outstanding compatibility
TEGO Antifoam grades can combine high deaeration performance without negative
side eects.
TEGO Antifoam D 2340
TEGO Antifoam D 2345
Benets:
High deaeration/defoaming eciency to prevent foam and bubble
formation in production and application processes
High compatibility
No negative side eects like surface defects as created by other additives
Transparent application can be achieved which are important for clear
formulations or top layers
Ecient for resins of dierent viscosity and styrene content
Applications:
Casting resins, all types of polyester resins and vinyl esters
Thixotropic top layers
Unlled and lled systems, e. g. CaCO
3
, hydroxide based ame
retardents, glass bers
Air bubbles on top without deaerator Fish eyes due to incompatible deaerator 0.2% TEGO Antifoam D 2345

Dispersing and Antiscratch
Dispersing of a variety of llers or glass bers is a demanding requirement in lled
UPES and vinylester resins to balance mechanical properties, cost and special proper-
ties such as ame retardance is included by that as well. TEGOMER/TEGOPREN
dispersing agents allow to increase signicantly the loading level of inorganic llers
or prevent lower viscous systems against settlement of high densitiy materials to
achieve homogenous layers, e. g. artical marble surfaces for kitchen or labs. To
prevent such surfaces or also top layers in other application against undesired loss of
quality by scratches those dispersing agents deliver a unique two in one performance
to guarantee that. Additionally they deliver internal release characteristics for better
demolding of huge parts.
TEGOMER A-Si 2322
TEGOMER M-Si 2650
TEGOPREN 6875
Benets of products used as dispersants:
Better distribution of llers or ame retardants
Higher ller loading for a better cost-eciency combined with enhanced
mechanical properties
Prevention of settlement of high density materials in lower viscose resins
Good demolding/ release properties without appearance of oily surfaces
Prevention of warpage of large parts
Better handling due to reduced viscosity of lled systems
Filler increase with TEGOPREN 6875

Good and permanent scratch resistance results in a better look of manufac-
tured goods. High demanding surfaces in the surrounding of kitchens, baths
and laboratories require mar and scratch resistance against heavy or spiky
goods moved over the surface or against human nails scratching. TEGOMER/
TEGOPREN products implement the desired eect in the formulation and
avoid the need for additional top layers.
Benets of products used as antiscratch additive:
Durable and long-term stable scratch resistance
Good demolding/ release properties
Prevention of warpage
Better chemical resistance and easy to clean surfaces
Applications:
Grained or plain surfaces
High lled systems
Unlled top layers
