The update focuses on siloxane-based coating and ink additives used in decorative paints, varnishes and other formulations.

Evonik announced leadership changes aimed at reinforcing continuity while positioning the company for its next phase.

The company met 2025 expectations while signaling mixed conditions across end markets heading into 2026.

Evonik announced an expanded U.S. distribution agreement that will broaden access to specialty methacrylate monomers used in coatings and polymer synthesis.

The global chemical company ranked among the top five percent of all EcoVadis-assessed firms for sustainability performance in 2025.

A global specialty chemicals company adjusted its financial forecast downward, citing slower-than-expected recovery and cautious customer activity across most end markets.

Evonik announced the creation of a standalone business unit designed to expand infrastructure services across multiple industries.

Lower volumes and plant shutdowns contributed to a double-digit drop in quarterly profit.

Evonik announced all global epoxy curing agent plants now run on renewable electricity, supporting its long-term climate goals.

Evonik’s group sales fell 23% in the third-quarter to €3.77 billion. Sales volumes declined by 5%, and prices by 6%.

The accreditation of the site at Mobile allows Evonik to produce and market its renewable isophorone-based, VESTA eCO series in the United States for the first time.

The new “Quick-Set property” of TEGO Guard 9000 technology enables high rain resistance just a few minutes after application

The new TEGO Rad 2330 is designed for use in a wide range of inks and varnish applications as well as clear and pigmented wood coatings. 

The new defoamer has been developed for easy incorporation into waterborne inks at any stage of ink manufacture and even for press-side addition.

The technology & infrastructure (TI) division will be split into two units, each with different perspectives. In addition, the entire administration will be tailored to the needs of the operating businesses.

After a challenging year 2022, Evonik says it is cautiously optimistic for 2023.

Both of Evonik's new wetting agents – TEGO^® Wet 290 and TEGO Wet 296 – main areas of application are waterborne automotive and wood coatings.

This second agreement now adds a further 50 MW to Evonik's purchase of 100 megawatts last year.

Evonik is integrating its alkoxides business into the catalysts business line. The extensive portfolio of heterogeneous catalysts is thus now complemented by homogeneous catalysts.

Sabo is a manufacturer of light stabilizers that relies on TAA derivatives as a raw material. The transaction was announced in mid-October, and the closing took place on December 29, 2022. The company says it is taking this step to focus its portfolio on specialty chemicals.

Spherical silica EXP 0002-1 is characterized by a particularly small particle size, and is suitable for architectural paints, as well as waterborne, deep-matte, and silk-gloss wood coatings. The silica helps extend the durability of a coating by improving its scratch and abrasion resistance. At the same time, the silica provides a matte or silk-gloss appearance to meet customers' aesthetic requirements.

TEGO^® Powder Aid D01 makes the formulation easier to disperse during extrusion by promoting pigment wetting, and effectively reducing melt viscosity. The lower melt viscosity also leads to better degassing, which aids flow and leveling as the formulation cures and prevents pinholes in the coating.

The defoamer focuses on a minimized environmental impact and a maximized handprint by enabling formulators to develop high-performance and low-VOC, environmentally friendly waterborne formulations. It does not contain biocides, nor does it require SVHC labeling, and can be used in formulations complying with current standards.

Evonik has developed a new line of tailor-made feedstocks, TEGO^® Therm, that substantially improve the performance of thermal insulation coatings (TICs).

“We are very pleased to have reliable partners who have intact and flexible supply chains, and a strong customer focus for our high-performance materials. The new partnerships are intended to increase the product availability in relevant industrial markets, such as metal coating, lacquer, and paint formulations, as well as rubber recycling,” says Peter Hannen, Ph.D., head of the Powders and Specialties market segment at Evonik.

Specially designed for radiation-cured wood coatings, the new deaerator, TEGO® Airex 923, is a highly compatible, 100%-active organic polymer that shows improved efficiency.

"The capacity increase is our response to the increased demand for additives for architectural paints," said Nadia Lenhardt, head of the Decorative Coatings market segment in EMEA.

Evonik's Coating Additives business line has developed a new tool for the digital analysis of coated test samples: COATINO® Defect Detection (CDD), that precisely and objectively detects and evaluates coating defects.
