Enjoy this excellent course!

In this comprehensive interactive eLearning you will learn the basics of rheology, how rheology modifiers work and how to select and test the appropriate rheology modifier. You can stop and return any time.

Rheology made Easy. Introduction of our new product group AEROSIL® Easy-to-disperse for Industrial & Transportation coatings and many more application fields. Technical background and benefits in regard to save your time, effort and costs.

Recorded Webinar: Saving time, energy & money - with our new COATINO® Cost Savings Calculator for AEROSIL® E2D individual parameter for your formulations can be calculated and compared.Using the example of AEROSIL® E2D, we show how the new tool compares process parameters of high-shear milling with standard fumed silica vs. dissolver milling. Furthermore we do a deep dive for more sustainability aspects and present a detailed LCA analysis for our new technology Easy-to-disperse AEROSIL®.

Recorded Webinar: Learn how Evonik’s versatile powder coating additives can take your formulations to the next level. Effects like free-flow, matting and pigment wetting will be in the focus. Beside well established brands like AEROXIDE® our experts explain technical benefits of the new TEGO® Powder Aid D01.

Recorded Webinar: Fumed Silica are a very versatile tool to adjust the rheology profile and other characteristics of your coating formulations. Learn more about Fumed Silica in general and how specific grades can help you to create optimized waterborne, solventborne and powder 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.

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

In less than 7 minutes we would like to tell you about our latest investment for Inkjet applications, what it can do for us and what we could do for you. 
Belief in the potential that inkjet represents for the printing industry is reflected in our continued efforts to provide our customers with specific recommendations, custom solutions and even specifically developed products. Find out more about the technical capabilities of our drop watcher and print station, and about modes of collaboration we offer that may assist you on your path of developing inkjet inks.

What are the important physico chemical parameters when formulating inks and how to characterize and optimize them. Recording kindly provided by Krüss.

This is a re-recording of the paper given at Inkjet Congress 2019. "Promoting Curing Speed: Ideal Surfactants for LED Curing Inkjet Inks"

Recorded Webinar: This webinar had introduced the know-how related the structure-property relationship of substrate wetting agents and their impact on the quality of the printed image as an integral part in enabling hight throughput digital printing.

Recorded Webinar: Staying compliant with regulations is becoming more crucial than ever when it comes to creating new printing inks. This webinar is designed to offer advanced knowledge and comprehensive insights on key compliance matters.

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: UV inkjet inks develop fast in recent years in the application of label, tobacco packaging and PCB etc. In this webinar we had shared our additive solutions for UV inkjet ink application, we had introduced our high performance dispersants for different type of pigments dispersing, surface control additives especially crosslinkable product series which can help to improve substrate wetting, slip property and scratch resistance etc, and our Co-binders which can help to boost the curing speed, improve adhesion and pigment wetting etc.

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 are presented. The first part presented solutions for pigment preparations and particle stabilization, so how to control the color and appearance of an ink. Part 2, will be related to foam, slip, release and substrate wetting - so control of the physical parameters of an ink.

Recorded Webinar: This webinar presents Evonik's rheology modifier portfolio for waterborne decorative coatings. It includes some product highlights to guide the formulator to the optimum selection and usage. Watch the recording and find out how our highly efficient thickeners with ultra-low VOC can solve your problems.

Recorded Webinar: We were delighted to offer a joint webinar with Anton Paar Germany GmbH, producer of highly accurate laboratory instruments and a world leader in the field of rheometry measurements.

The rheology of coatings is a key property to control and understand material behavior during production, transport, storage and application. In this course, you learn about important rheological terms and rheometric tests. How do they contribute to understand your product and how do they help to improve process design? 

Recorded Webinar:

In our new format "ASK the EXPERT", we devote ourselves to your questions.

Two Evonik experts take the opportunity to give thorough answers and in-depth explanations. This format allows more questions and greater detail than usually possible in a short Q&A session typically offered at the end of a webinar.

Recorded Webinar: 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.

This webinar has focused on the importance of pre-treatment of metal surfaces. The session has coved the application of 1K anti-corrosion primers and direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings, highlighting their benefits in protecting against environmental factors. Additionally, we have discussed the film formation process and common surface defects that can impact performance.

This webinar was part of the Surface Weeks.
