New TEGO® Powder Aid G01 for re-defining powder coating performance!

Powder coatings are gaining momentum as a sustainable solution, thanks to its solvent-free and near-zero VOC emissions. However, challenges such as surface pinholes and yellowing caused by traditional degassing agents have limited premium finishes.

Over the years, benzoin has been used as the degassing agent due to its cost advantage. But under excessive baking or UV exposure, benzoin can cause irreversible yellowing, especially in light-colored coatings - impacting both aesthetics and durability. In demanding processes like high film thickness applications, its efficiency also falls short.

At this years ChinaCoat we proudly introduced TEGO® Powder Aid G01, a breakthrough degassing agent that delivers:

✅ No yellowing - maintains aesthetics even under harsh conditions
✅ Superior degassing - ideal for thick-film applications
✅ Excellent recoatability & flow - supports multi-layer systems

With TEGO® Powder Aid G01, we enable powder coating products to achieve perfect performance without compromise.
