Evonik launches low VOC additive

What could be better than a high-performance multi-functional additive? The same additive but without VOCs!

The new generation additive is just as effective as its predecessor with one crucial benefit: It contains virtually no VOCs (depending on regional guidelines and measuring method).

This significant advantage means that the product requires minimal special labelling and is therefore easier to use, process and store.


As with the previous generation, the new additive is also suitable for applications requiring food contact compliance; it meets FDA and Swiss A requirements.

Besides the lower VOC content and improved product labeling, SURFYNOL® 104 Z still offers the benefits it is known for.

It defoams, it wets, it improves leveling.And above all, it has no negative impact on the formulation.

As required, the product can be used at any stage of the formulation process: in the mill base, the let-down, in production or during subsequent quality control.
