Quiz on Matting Agents

Recorded Webinar: Get to know our ACEMATT® range of matting agents for all what your wood and industrial coatings need.

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: As the printing industry advances towards higher printing speeds and a broader range of graphic effects, the utilization of both fumed and precipitated silica in printing inks has become prevalent. The choice of particle sizes and surface treatments plays a crucial role in influencing the ink formulation's matting effect and rheology behavior. This presentation aims to explore the benefits of using engineered silicas such as AEROSIL®, ACEMATT®, SIPERNAT®, and SPHERILEX® in printing inks applications. The discussion will focus on how these silicas can enhance key properties like Rheology Control, Matting, Anti-block, and scratch resistance in the ink formulations.

Overview and benefits of AEROSIL® and AEROXIDE® High Performance Special Fumed Oxides for for General Industrial, Marine&Protective, Automotive, Powder and Corrosion Protection applications.

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

This webcast shows you various factors that lead to blocking defects in printing inks, and more importantly demonstrate 3 different formulating approaches. Lab videos and pictures are illustrated to show you how additives could help you achieve flawless finish.

This is an interactive video that showcase different service offerings to support printing inks customers thru innovations and efficiency. Come explore to take advantage of our competencies in regulatory guidance, sustainability, technical expertise and trainings.

Recorded Webinar: Siloxane-based additives show unique effects in waterborne, radiation-curing and also solventborne inks and varnishes. This webinar related structural motives to effects in inks and varnishes. It had displayed how to improve ink performance by the use of highly active siloxane-based additives, but also mentioned possible limitations. Can they potentially replace fluorosurfactants?

Recorded Webinar: It is essential to have a basic understanding of regulations when creating a new printing ink. While the term "regulatory" may evoke negative connotations for some, this webinar aimed to provide fundamental knowledge on the topic in a relaxed manner.

Recorded Webinar: Printing processes are getting faster and faster, substrates more and more diverse and global regulatory requirements more and more stringent. In this webinar, you will learn how Coating Additives copes with these requirements and proactively builds a portfolio of suitable high performance additives. Trends, star products and latest developments has been discussed along with practical examples and recommendations.

Recorded Webinar: Inks are often produced from semi-finished to address the application complexity and reduce the final production step to a blending operation. Semi-finished must not only be intermixable and compatible but also stable over the time. In this mini webinar series, challenges and solutions were presented. In the first part we have presented solutions for pigment preparations and particle stabilization, so how to control the color and appearance of an ink. Part 2, have been related to foam, slip, release and substrate wetting - so control of the physical parameters of an ink.

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.

Technical insight of important coating properties for plastic coatings and product recommendations.
