history

In October 1984, Th. Goldschmidt AG founded Tego Chemie Service GmbH as a sales company for the silicone-based paint and paint additives that have been developed and manufactured since 1978. The new subsidiary started its business on January 1, 1985 and took over the sales of additives for paint and printing inks, as well as silicone resins as special binders for heat-resistant and highly anti-corrosive coatings.

In 1999 Tego Chemie Service GmbH and its parent company, Goldschmidt AG, became part of SKW Trostberg AG . In 2001 Degussa-Hüls AG and SKW Trostberg AG merged to form Degussa AG . Tego Chemie Service GmbH thus became part of the Degussa chemicals group. On September 12, 2007 the integration of Degussa into the Evonik Industries Group was announced.

Tego Chemie Service GmbH was renamed Evonik Tego Chemie GmbH on October 16, 2007.

Evonik Tego Chemie GmbH has been selling paint additives from Wacker Chemie AG since August 2004 . In April 2011 Evonik Tego Chemie GmbH took over the sale of nanocomposites for the paint and coatings industry as part of the sale of the hanse chemie Group to Evonik Goldschmidt GmbH.

Products

Evonik Tego Chemie GmbH develops, produces and sells additives, co- and special binders, as well as nanocomposites, which prevent imperfections and undesirable effects in the paint. The product range includes: defoamers , deaerators, wetting and dispersing additives, substrate wetting additives, water repellants, silicone resins, silicone polyester resins, silicone epoxy resins, synthetic resins, adhesive resins. Problems in the production and application of solvent-free paints and UV paints, such as. B. the strong foam development of these paint systems made their commercial use difficult at the beginning of the 1980s. The development of additives that could effectively prevent this foaming, supported the breakthrough of innovative and environmentally friendly paints. Evonik Tego Chemie GmbH played a key role in these developments. These products are now part of the company's core business.
