Evonik Coating Additives launches first mass balanced products for coatings and inks

Reduced carbon footprint without sacrificing performance

  • By ICN Bureau | March 12, 2025

Evonik Coating Additives introduces its first two mass balanced products, TEGO Wet 270 eCO and TEGO Foamex 812 eCO, providing coating and ink formulators with the same high-performing defoamer and wetting agent properties they expect, but with a reduced carbon footprint.

The raw materials used to produce these additives – both organic and inorganic – have the greatest impact on the final product's carbon footprint. By investing in ISCC certified raw materials, Evonik Coating Additives has significantly reduced that footprint. The newly implemented mass balance approach allows for the allocation of bio-attributed or recycled-attributed feedstock to specific products, providing a traceable and credible way to reduce fossil carbon use in coatings.

“By using ISCC certified raw materials, we are contributing to the replacement of virgin fossil resources by renewable feedstocks. This allows us to support our customers in the reduction of their Scope 3 upstream emissions” says Tim-Frederic Sloot, Head of Sustainability at Evonik Coating Additives, who led the development of the first mass balanced products.

The ISCC PLUS certification of the mass balance approach ensures that sales align with the purchased sustainable raw materials, empowering customers to create more sustainable product formulations.
