Recorded Webinar: This webinar introduced Evonik Specialty Methacrylates' new oxidative crosslinker VISIOMER® Terra CARMA. 

VISIOMER® Terra CARMA combines ambient-temperature crosslinking with a high biobased content, offering a more sustainable solution for the coatings industry.

Recorded Webinar: 

Insufficient wet adhesion has long been a difficult problem for paints, and finding functional adhesion monomers with high efficiency and easy synthesis is an effective shortcut to solve. In this webinar, you will learn about the use of Evonik’s wet adhesion monomer developed by introducing urea group into methacrylate. A small amount of VISIOMER® MEEU added to the emulsion synthesis process can significantly improve the adhesion and scratch resistance of architectural and industrial paints.

We had outlined novel sustainable specialty methacrylates from Evonik´s Specialty Methacrylate product line and had given examples including solutions for ambient-temperature crosslinking and for the creation of stable core-shell polymers.                              

• Biobased methacrylates as drop-in solutions for existing monomers & extended solutions creating new monomers with superior performance 

• Methacrylate solutions beyond biobased

• Creating positive effects for carbon footprint & handprint

Automotive Refinish Coatings – Part II: Background, chemistry, and product recommendations for automotive refinish coatings in regarding to Filler & Putties.

This webinar was organised by UL prospector in November 2021 and discusses the typical defects found in architectural coatings and offers product recommendations to solve these issues. 

Wall paints are a very important application within Architectural Coatings - and renewing them is quite laborious. Optimizing the resistance to damage and wear leads to more economical and sustainable paint formulations, as it makes renovation of e.g. façades with the costly installation of scaffolding redundant. One particular headache for freshly painted façades can be the formation of so called snail trails causing an uneven appearance when there is high humidity or rain. New specialty fillers help to prevent these problems and allow to formulate very long-lasting beautiful films when formulated e.g. with optimized hydrophobing agents. For interior coatings, innovative fillers also play a major role for optimization of mechanical resistance e.g., burnish phenomena - in addition, the use of suitable surface-active agents facilitates the optimization of scuff and chemical resistance. Studies of film formation help to understand and optimize both interior and exterior formulations.

Deep insight to global vehicle production and OEM market perspective.

Recorded Webinar: This webinar shows you how to enhance the beauty of  your floor with a range of coating additives from Evonik.

Recorded Webinar: We discuss different defects generally happening in Automotive application layer wise and suggest our CAD additives to rectify those defects.

Beside a basic introduction of automotive OEM coatings and certain coating layers, optimum products are recommended.
