Evonik TEGO Twin 4100 Leveling Agent

Evonik TEGO Twin 4100 is a 100% active siloxane gemini surfactant for coatings, reducing dynamic surface tension to ≤22.5 dyn/cm (0.1% conc.). It eliminates craters and enhances flow in wood/industrial coatings at 0.1-1.0% dosage, compliant with REACH/ISO 9001

Features Of  Evonik TEGO Glide 4100 Leveling Agent

  1. Dual-Action Wetting: Siloxane-polyether chains lower static/dynamic surface tension (rated 5/5 for anti-cratering)

  2. Process Stability: pH 3-13 stable, compatible with spray/roller/curtain coating

  3. Eco-Friendly: VOC-free, meets GB 18582-2020 and indirect food contact standards

  4. Multi-Functional: Combines wetting, flow promotion, and defoaming support

  5. Durability: 60-month shelf life (-40~+40°C), resistant to shear degradation

Typical Applications Of  Evonik TEGO Glide 4100 Leveling Agent

  1. Wood Coatings: 0.1-0.5% in furniture varnishes for crater-free finishes (ΔE<0.5)

  2. Industrial Paints: High-speed roller coating (>80 m/min) on metal substrates

  3. Printing Inks: 0.3-0.8% in waterborne flexo/gravure inks for substrate adhesion

  4. Plastic Coatings: BOPP/PET primers (0.05-0.2%) with cross-cut class 0 adhesion
