In this comprehensive eLearning you will learn the basics of pigments, color and hiding power in coatings and inks, as well as the basics of dispersing additives and their working mechanism. You can stop and return at any time. 

The entire eLearning consists of two modules. Part 1 - Theory and Part 2 - Practice.

In this comprehensive eLearning you will learn the basics of pigment grinding, the formulation of the mill-base and the most important test methods for assessing the dispersing quality. You can stop and return at any time. 

Evonik introduces its additive toolbox for universal colorants including the new TEGO® Dispers 658. This journey provides an overview of the different products available, their relative positioning and benefits on coating performance.

Recorded webinar: This webinar had introduced Evonik’s wetting and dispersing agent toolbox to facilitate the formulation of universal colorants. The additive toolbox provides benefits on color strength, viscosity reduction, compatibility with various binders and includes a new sustainable product -TEGO® Dispers 658- especially developed for organic pigments and carbon blacks. In addition, our expert will present the advantages of using TEGO® Color Aid 7060 as compatibilizer for universal colorants in alkyd-based paints. 

Discover how Evonik's wetting and dispersing additives help to improve the performance of waterborne white pastes and white topcoats. We will especially focus on the optimisation of anti-floating properties after tinting, viscosity stability during storage and much more.

This learning journey explains the benefits of using wetting agents, grind aids and co-dispersants to boost the performance of architectural coatings.

Quiz on Dispersion of Pigments

This course explains the importance of each step of pigment concentrate preparation.

Recorded Webinar: We were delighted to offer a joint webinar with  NETZSCH-Feinmahltechnik GmbH, the world's leading company in the field of wet grinding, dispersion and homogenization as well as mixing and kneading.

For the production of paints, coatings and inks, a wide variety of raw materials must be processed into complex formulations. This requires various process steps in which the different components must be mixed, homogenized and ground to a defined particle size distribution. In the lecture, various processing options, advantages and disadvantages as well as optimization potentialshad been discussed and complete solutions had been presented.

This webinar was part of the Dispersion Weeks. 

Recorded Webinar: Our experts had explained the different steps of the pigment dispersion process, like pigment wetting, grinding and stabilization and the role of the additives in each of these steps. This session would also show how to evaluate the performance of pigment grinds and pigment concentrates and provide product highlights.
