TEGO Flow 300 — Technical Profile
TEGO Flow 300 is a Polyacrylate (acrylic)-based flow and leveling additive (silicone-free) manufactured by Evonik Industries AG (Germany), part of the TEGO Flow product line.
How It Works
TEGO Flow 300 reduces surface tension uniformly across the wet film to prevent flow disturbances. Being silicone-free, it avoids intercoat adhesion issues and crater formation that can occur with silicone-based additives in multi-coat systems.

Formulation Considerations
Silicone-free grades are essential in automotive refinish and multi-coat industrial systems where silicone contamination (fisheyes) must be avoided.
Looking for a TEGO Flow 300 Alternative?
Our SEMITECH Additives range offers functionally equivalent flow and leveling additive (silicone-free)s that deliver the same performance as TEGO Flow 300 — matched surface tension reduction, compatibility profile, and application behavior — at 20–40% lower cost.
Why formulators switch to SEMITECH Additives:
- Drop-in replacement — no reformulation needed in most systems; matched chemistry (Polyacrylate (acrylic)) ensures equivalent performance at the same dosage (0.1–1.0% based on total formulation weight)
- Competitive pricing — 20–40% cost advantage vs. Evonik list price, with volume tier discounts available
- Reliable supply — direct from manufacturer in China, 2–4 week lead time, safety stock programs available
- Technical support — formulation assistance, application testing, and side-by-side comparison data provided
- Flexible MOQ — from 25 kg trial drums to 20-ton container loads
- Quality assurance — ISO 9001 certified, batch-to-batch consistency with full CoA
Qualification Process
- Request sample — we ship 1–5 kg free sample of our TEGO Flow 300 equivalent
- Lab testing — side-by-side evaluation in your formulation at equivalent dosage
- Application testing — confirm performance on your production equipment
- Qualification — full TDS, CoA, and regulatory documentation provided
- Scale up — seamless transition to production quantities
