Quiz on Dispersion of Pigments

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.

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.

This webinar was part of the Dispersion Weeks.
