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.

Overview and benefits of AEROSIL® fumed silicas for rheology control. Specialized synthetic amorphous fumed silica to enhance coatings performance.
