Recording: Siloxane-based additives for inks and varnishes, composition, performance and limitations

Recorded Webinar: Siloxane-based additives show unique effects in waterborne, radiation-curing and also solventborne inks and varnishes. This webinar related structural motives to effects in inks and varnishes. It had displayed how to improve ink performance by the use of highly active siloxane-based additives, but also mentioned possible limitations. Can they potentially replace fluorosurfactants?

Recorded Webinar: UV inkjet inks develop fast in recent years in the application of label, tobacco packaging and PCB etc. In this webinar we had shared our additive solutions for UV inkjet ink application, we had introduced our high performance dispersants for different type of pigments dispersing, surface control additives especially crosslinkable product series which can help to improve substrate wetting, slip property and scratch resistance etc, and our Co-binders which can help to boost the curing speed, improve adhesion and pigment wetting etc.

Recording: Outperformulate your waterborne inks - Part I

Coatino Campus

Recording: Outperformulate your waterborne inks - Part I

Recorded Webinar: Inks are often produced from semi-finished to address the application complexity and reduce the final production step to a blending operation. Semi-finished must not only be intermixable and compatible but also stable over the time. In this mini webinar series, challenges and solutions are presented. The first part presented solutions for pigment preparations and particle stabilization, so how to control the color and appearance of an ink. Part 2, will be related to foam, slip, release and substrate wetting - so control of the physical parameters of an ink.
