TEGO Flow ATF 2 — Technical Profile
TEGO Flow ATF 2 is a Polyacrylate (acrylic)-based flow and leveling additive (silicone-free) manufactured by Evonik Industries AG (Germany), part of the TEGO Flow product line. Automotive-tuned.
How It Works
TEGO Flow ATF 2 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.
