Evonik Coating Additives introduces its new additive, TEGO® Foamex 8880, a new defoamer built on unique hybrid technology that features bio-based polymer and polyether siloxane for various printing inks applications.

In this comprehensive interactive eLearning you can learn what foam is all about, how defoamers work and how to select and test defoamers.  You can stop and return any time. 

Recorded Webinar: In this webinar the special needs for defoamers in waterborne and radiation-curing inks and varnishes will be discussed. Test methods and results in different test systems will be presented, evaluating two newly launched defoamers. TEGO® Foamex 8880, waterborne defoamer emulsion with excellent foam knock down, based on unique hybrid technology. TEGO® Airex 978, new, solvent-free. powerful defoamer for UV varnishes and inks.

Review of Evonik's architectural coating defoamer performance with support of the COATINO® Defect Detection tool.

Quiz on Defoamers

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: This webinar adresses the importance of global food contact compliance and defoamer & deaerating mechanisms, offering additive solutions to meet your performance & food contact regulatory requirements.

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.
