Evonik Coating Additives introduces its new additive, TEGO® Guard 9000, for quick weather resistance and long-lasting protection of  façade paints.

Recording: Currently the application of facade paints relies heavily on the weather as wet coatings with long drying times aremore vulnerable to water and dirt.The use of TEGO® Guard 9000 broadens the application conditions of exterior paint formulations, by improving the stabilization of the paint ingredients directly after the application.

This webinar was organised by UL prospector in November 2021 and discusses the typical defects found in architectural coatings and offers product recommendations to solve these issues. 

Wall paints are a very important application within Architectural Coatings - and renewing them is quite laborious. Optimizing the resistance to damage and wear leads to more economical and sustainable paint formulations, as it makes renovation of e.g. façades with the costly installation of scaffolding redundant. One particular headache for freshly painted façades can be the formation of so called snail trails causing an uneven appearance when there is high humidity or rain. New specialty fillers help to prevent these problems and allow to formulate very long-lasting beautiful films when formulated e.g. with optimized hydrophobing agents. For interior coatings, innovative fillers also play a major role for optimization of mechanical resistance e.g., burnish phenomena - in addition, the use of suitable surface-active agents facilitates the optimization of scuff and chemical resistance. Studies of film formation help to understand and optimize both interior and exterior formulations.

Facade coatings have an attractive appearance and offer protection from the effects of weathering. These functions are combined and optimized in silicone resin paints. Over the last years requirements have increased. The color selection needs to be larger. The facade must pollute more slowly, and all these performance characteristics need to be achieved by environmentally compatible means.

This course provides some insights on why and how to protect exterior walls from weathering and highlights some solutions in order to maintain the wall integrity.
