ACEMATT® HK 440

Offering vital insights into chemical compliance within the decorative coatings market, this webinar will focus on the growing demand for greener and more sustainable products. It will explore regulatory trends and innovative digital solutions that address the increasing communication needs across the value chain.

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.

In this comprehensive interactive eLearning you can learn the basics of surface control additives. You get an overview of the basics of leveling, haptic, slip and release effects and the basics of surface control additives. You learn easily how surface control additives work and how to test the coating effects to find the optimal dosage for your application. You can stop and return any time. 

Explanation and technical insight of matting effect, incorporation into the coating and many more aspects of the ACEMATT® matting agents product group.

This learning journey provides a very complete set of information about the ACEMATT® portfolio for wood coatings.  It explains how the matting agents work, how to handle and test them in a coating, and provides some product recommendations for the different wood coating technologies.

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 General Industrial, Marine&Protective, Automotive, Powder and Corrosion Protection applications.

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. 

Learn more about the new matting agent pastes CSTICO®matt TS 100 and CSTICO®matt 810 SP from CSC Jäklechemie, especially suitable for water-based, clear and pigmented 1K systems as well as UV systems. The innovative matting pastes have a very narrow particle size distribution, promising excellent performance in terms of matting and surface protection. They are thixotropic, allowing them to be processed easily with low shear force despite their high solid content, but do not settle hard during storage. This means CSTICO® matt TS 100 and CSTICO® matt 810 SP can be used universally and as post-additives.

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.
