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. 

Quiz on Dispersion of Pigments

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.

Analytical methods to describe the performance of silicone based surface control additives in waterborne wood and furniture coatings. Learn more about current trends in wood coatings, performance profile of surface control additives based on silicone chemistry in waterborne wood coatings,  the results based on analytical methods and capability of spherical precipitated silica particles to enhance the mechanical resistance of coating surfaces.

This course provides some insights on the different types of wood coating technologies. For each technology, we will describe its advantages, disadvantages and key functionalities.

This course introduces the new TEGO® Dispers 711W, 712W, 715W and 717W and TEGO® Foamex 2 and 9, a new product portfolio designed to meet the cost-performance requirements of  decorative paints.

Siloxane-based additives are critical tools in coating applications because their structures can be varied in order to provide a broad range of performance benefits in many types of formulations and chemistries. An attempt is made to clarify the general structure-property relationships that drive the performance attributes of siloxane additives and detail the continuum that exists between wetting, leveling, defoaming and slip within this chemistry class.

This paper provides some insights on color acceptance of waterborne architectural coatings. It describes the mechanisms involved in colorant stabilization and explains how specific surface active agents can be used within the base paint formulation to prevent destabilization of the colorant.

This paper discusses surfactant structure property relationships and their effect on final coating properties. This approach leads to the development of innovating surfactants that offer a balance of properties necessary for process requirements as well as good coating stabilization.

In decorative coatings the use of pigment concentrates is a modern and flexible way to produce colored paints. Especially in waterborne applications these concentrates have to be compatible with a broad range of different binder technologies. Because of that the concentrate formulations are usually free of binder and highly compatible.

Furthermore the demands in terms of storage stability, color strength and cost efficiency are very high. These demands are directly conferrable to the used additive technology. The additive has to give outstanding viscosity reduction to achieve highest pigment loads and most economic grinding, it has to stabilize the pigments over a long period of time without any change in rheology and it has to develop the color to the maximum to avoid any waste of expensive pigments.

This article introduces new findings concerning iron oxide pigments and their use in binder-free pigment concentrates.

It discusses advantages and disadvantages of using classical additive technologies for iron oxide pigments. It introduces a technology that combines a polymeric structure with phosphate groups to achieve the outstanding viscosity reduction of polyacrylate salts and the long term stability of high polymeric additives.

This course explains the importance of each step of pigment concentrate preparation.

Recorded Webinar: We were delighted to offer a joint webinar with  NETZSCH-Feinmahltechnik GmbH, the world's leading company in the field of wet grinding, dispersion and homogenization as well as mixing and kneading.

For the production of paints, coatings and inks, a wide variety of raw materials must be processed into complex formulations. This requires various process steps in which the different components must be mixed, homogenized and ground to a defined particle size distribution. In the lecture, various processing options, advantages and disadvantages as well as optimization potentialshad been discussed and complete solutions had been presented.

This webinar was part of the Dispersion Weeks. 

Recorded Webinar: Our experts had explained the different steps of the pigment dispersion process, like pigment wetting, grinding and stabilization and the role of the additives in each of these steps. This session would also show how to evaluate the performance of pigment grinds and pigment concentrates and provide product highlights.

This webinar was part of the Dispersion Weeks. 

Recorded Webinar: Coating defects can cause severe headaches in wood coating applications. We have several options of additives in our portfolio to get rid of these defects or solve challenges like wetting of difficult substrates easily. In this webinar we had provided you with recommendations for water based, solvent based & UV coatings.

Discover how Evonik's wetting and dispersing additives help to improve the performance of waterborne white pastes and white topcoats. We will especially focus on the optimisation of anti-floating properties after tinting, viscosity stability during storage and much more.

Recorded webinar: This recorded webinar presents Evonik’s special silica products and explains the main benefits of each product in waterborne matt coating systems.  The webinar covers fumed silica, matting agent and spherical silica products.
