The new TEGO® Cure 100 hardener from Evonik reportedly ensures that coatings cure at room temperature, eliminating the need for costly and energy-intensive drying in the oven. At the same time, the surface is heat-stable up to 650°C during application.
TEGO Cure 100 was specially developed for surfaces that are continuously exposed to high temperatures, such as ovens, pipes, or machines that become hot during operation. The hardener is suitable for silicone resins, as well as silicone combination resins, and offers a range of additional advantages. For example, the hardener improves the corrosion protection of the coating, especially when it is under an insulating layer. In addition, the high solids content of more than 99% reduces solvent emissions to a minimum.
