TEGO® Rad 2100

For our Surface Weeks we have lined up 4 one-hour weekly webinars throughout February, offered twice each to accommodate for different time zones.

As part of this series of events, we are delighted to offer a joint webinar with Synthomer, one of the world’s leading suppliers of sustainable water-based and differentiated polymer solutions.

Want to learn more about the topic surface control? Check out the new comprehensive and interactive eLearning Surface Control Basics.

We are delighted to offer a joint webinar with  Synthomer, one of the world’s leading suppliers of sustainable water-based and differentiated polymer solutions.

Join us for an insightful webinar focused on the importance of pre-treatment of metal surfaces. The session will cover the application of 1K anti-corrosion primers and direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings, highlighting their benefits in protecting against environmental factors. Additionally, we will discuss the film formation process and common surface defects that can impact performance.

This webinar is part of the Surface Weeks. 

This presentation describes how novel SPHERILEX® silica particles can be used to improve the surface appearance and wet scrub, burnish, stain, and metal marking resistance of architectural paints. It will also discuss how to boost the performance of traditional silica matting agents to achieve deep matte wood coatings that have significantly improved scratch, burnish and mar resistance.

The aspect of a coated surface is positively enhanced by the use of additives for surface control. Using the example of automotive coatings the different aspects of leveling, wetting and haptic effects will be shown on three substrates.

This webinar is part of the Surface Weeks. 

In this comprehensive interactive eLearning you can learn the basics of surface control additives. You get an overview of the basics of leveling, haptic, slip and release effects and the basics of surface control additives. You learn easily how surface control additives work and how to test the coating effects to find the optimal dosage for your application. You can stop and return any time. 

Recorded Webinar: Siloxane-based additives help to adjust distinct effects like substrate wetting, slip, release and defoaming properties of radiation-curing inks and coatings. Learn more about the composition of these compounds and find out what is important for the selection of suitable additives and their chemical bases.

Recorded Webinar: Comparing LED-curing to cure via high pressure mercury lamps - will slip and release effects as well as scratch resistance and other properties differ? Model formulations for graphic arts and wood coatings have been prepared and cured via standard UV cure and LED cure. Comparison data for crosslinkable and non crosslinkable additives is shown. Additionally data on the impact of inertization is shown and discussed. And of course – there will be the chance to participate and ask questions.

Recorded Webinar: In this webinar you can learn about the composition of siloxane-based additives and their distinct effects in radiation-curing formulations. You will find out what is important for the selection of a suitable additive, where the strengths and limits of this technology are. Examples are shown for the effects: substrate wetting, slip, release and defoaming.

Analytical methods to describe the performance of silicone based surface control additives in waterborne wood and furniture coatings. Learn more about current trends in wood coatings, performance profile of surface control additives based on silicone chemistry in waterborne wood coatings,  the results based on analytical methods and capability of spherical precipitated silica particles to enhance the mechanical resistance of coating surfaces.

This course provides some insights on the different types of wood coating technologies. For each technology, we will describe its advantages, disadvantages and key functionalities.

Siloxane-based additives are critical tools in coating applications because their structures can be varied in order to provide a broad range of performance benefits in many types of formulations and chemistries. An attempt is made to clarify the general structure-property relationships that drive the performance attributes of siloxane additives and detail the continuum that exists between wetting, leveling, defoaming and slip within this chemistry class.

Recorded Webinar: Coating defects can cause severe headaches in wood coating applications. We have several options of additives in our portfolio to get rid of these defects or solve challenges like wetting of difficult substrates easily. In this webinar we had provided you with recommendations for water based, solvent based & UV coatings.

Recorded webinar: This recorded webinar presents Evonik’s special silica products and explains the main benefits of each product in waterborne matt coating systems.  The webinar covers fumed silica, matting agent and spherical silica products.

Recorded Webinar: This webinar focuses on solutions to eliminate reaction foam in WB 2K PU systems. It also covers the topic of matting of waterbased wood coatings.

Recorded Webinar: Discover our portfolio for can coating applications with a deep dive for specific effects, such as defoaming, matting, adhesion while meeting your regulatory needs.
