3 About us TEGO one of Evonik's leading brands. As the leading supplier of specialty chemicals worldwide, Evonik offers its customers in the coatings and printing inks industry a unique range of products under the TEGO brand name. Our portfolio is the result of experience gained over the 30 years in which we have researched and developed optimal solutions together with, and for, our customers. With over 200 products, the range currently includes not only the most diverse additives but also co-binders, specialty resins and nanoresins. We get rid of air from paints, conjure gloss onto surfaces and make lacquers scratch-resistant. Environmental concerns are of key importance to us when developing new products. Besides our extensive expertise, our numerous contacts in more than 40 countries are an additional advantage. This underlines our philosophy of developing intelligent products for new areas of application not only for, but together with customers. We look forward to your challenge and are confident that we can find an advantageous solution for you. TEGO Adding Advantages. TEGO VariPlus page 3

4 TEGO VariPlus TEGO VariPlus products improve the solids content and yield of coating systems and printing inks. The products also improve hardness, adhesion and drying and are unsaponifiable and lightfast. Because of their good pigment-wetting properties, pigment loading capacity is increased. Even at high pigmentation, an excellent gloss can still be obtained. Depending on the grade used, resins are soluble in a variety of solvents. Typical applications Pigment preparations, printing inks, ballpoint pen pastes, nitrocellulose paints, hot melt compounds, vinyl chloride copolymer systems, PUR systems, hot stamping foils, paper varnishes, inks, toners, coatings.

6 Properties and applications Pigment concentrates TEGO VariPlus TC features nearly universal solubility in organic solvents with good compatibility and excellent pigment wetting. For this reason it is particularly suitable as a carrier resin for pigment concentrates. Combined with a dispersing aid, these concentrates exhibit high color strength and low viscosity. TEGO VariPlus UC is especially designed for high solids pigment concentrates with highest pigment loading capacity. TEGO VariPlus 1201 TF is used as a glosspromoting supplementary resin in high- performance pigment concentrates. Because of its very good wetting properties TEGO VariPlus DS 50 increases the pigment loading capacity. This makes it possible to obtain very stable pigment concentrates and inks with an outstanding gloss even at high levels of pigmentation. Therefore the use of dispersing additives can be reduced significantly. TEGO VariPlus UC W 40 is designed for universal high performance pigment preparations with excellent compatibility in waterborne systems.

7 Printing inks Soluble in alcohol, TEGO VariPlus SK, CA and 1201 TF are used in printing inks based on polyvinyl butyral, nitrocellulose, alkyd resins, maleic resins, or rosin resins to accelerate drying and improve adhesion and gloss. TEGO VariPlus 1201 TF is particularly suitable for the production of printing inks that must exhibit good blocking resistance after rapid throughdrying. Furthermore, in numerous binder combinations, TEGO VariPlus 1201 TF improves adhesion, even on PVC and polyolefin substrates (like OPP). Special benefits are given in hot stamping foils. TEGO VariPlus DS 50 is used in waterborne printing inks to give higher gloss, better adhesion and faster drying. Ball-point pen pastes Ball-point pen pastes owe their special rheological properties to the unique chemistry and structure of TEGO VariPlus CA, and, in particular, TEGO VariPlus SK. These prevent the pastes and the inks in writing instruments from drying out, but also to set quickly after writing. Coatings By its high T g and special structure TEGO VariPlus DS 50 improves the resistance of waterborne coatings to water, solvents and chemicals. It also improves the film hardness and the gloss. When TEGO VariPlus DS 50 is used in plastic coatings or automotive OEM coatings, respectively, it improves adhesion to the sub strate and intercoat adhesion. In wood coatings, TEGO VariPlus DS 50 accele rates the surface drying, throughcure, hardness and gloss. TEGO VariPlus DS 50 used in leather coatings influences gloss, adhesion and hardness. TEGO VariPlus SK and CA are applicable as resin modifiers mainly to improve hardness and drying of solventborne coatings. TEGO VariPlus page 7

8 PUR systems Owing to the high reactivity of their OH groups with isocyanates, TEGO VariPlus CA, SK, 1201 TF and DS 50 are used in PUR systems. In the case of TEGO VariPlus CA, due account must be taken for the residual moisture content. Nitrocellulose paints The product group TEGO VariPlus can be used in the manufacture of all types of nitrocellulose paints. In nitrocellulose wood paints, they improve polishing and adhesion. If TEGO VariPlus SK is used, additional elasticity and resistance, as demonstrated by the Cold Check Test, is improved. Radiation-curing systems In radiation-curing systems TEGO VariPlus AP and SK are used to lower volume shrinkage that occurs during curing and thus to improve adhesion. TEGO VariPlus SK improves hardness and gloss and can be used as a grinding resin in pigment systems. Due to its acetophenone basis TEGO VariPlus AP acts as a polymeric photoinitiator in combination with an amine synergist. TEGO VariPlus 3350 UV reduces volume shrinkage and tends to increase curing speed. Inks, toners TEGO VariPlus CA lends alcohol-based inks used in roller-ball, felt and fiber-tip pens their high water resistance. TEGO VariPlus SK is used in toners. Paper varnishes When TEGO VariPlus CA and SK are used in paper varnishes, its brightness, lightfastness, neutrality, and unsaponifiability are an advantage. For example, systems based on cellulose acetobutyrates are water-clear and dry rapidly to produce a non-abrasive surface with high gloss and elasticity. Hot melt compounds In hot melt compounds, which are used to protect tools and machine parts, TEGO VariPlus CA, 1201 TF and SK are used to control the melt viscosity and the hardness of the cooled mass. Recommended formulations are available on request. page 8 TEGO VariPlus
