Sustainability is now a pivotal factor in driving business success. By embedding sustainable practices into their processes, formulators of coatings and inks not only promote innovation but also achieve enhanced performance and sustainable long-term growth.

This webinar is part of our weekly webinar series in May: Sustainability as a Business Driver - A Path to Better Performance.

For our Surface Weeks we lined up 4 one-hour weekly webinars.

This Curriculum contains the recordings of all 4 events.

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

Eager to learn more?
Check out the interactive course “Sustainability for Coatings and Inks” or get a comprehensive overview of the regulatory framework in the coatings and inks industry in our eLearning “Regulatory Universe”.

In this comprehensive, interactive eLearning you will learn the basics of surface control additives for coatings and inks. You get an overview of the basics of leveling, touch modifying, slip and release effects and the basic chemistry. You learn easily how surface control additives work and how to test the coating effects to find the optimal dosage for your application. During the course, you can pause and resume at any time.

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.

Quiz on surface control additves.

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 has been shown on three substrates.

This webinar was part of the Surface Weeks.

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

Sustainability is reshaping the coatings landscape, and real progress requires transparency, verifiable data, and future ready materials. This session had introduced how Synthomer embeds sustainability into product development and customer collaboration: From measuring environmental impact through Product Carbon Footprints and Life Cycle Assessments to advancing ISCC+ certified mass balance chemistries. We had highlighted practical examples from both architectural and industrial coatings to demonstrate how sustainable solutions can be implemented across diverse applications. The webinar had also addressed how evolving regulatory and ecolabel requirements, such as APEO free, PFAS free and EU Ecolabel, are influencing raw material selection and product design. Join the recording for a clear, practical view of the strategies, certifications, and technologies shaping the future of sustainable coatings.
