Evonik Coating Additives introduces the latest addition in the unique range of TEGO® Rad silicone acrylate - TEGO® Rad 2330, a radically cross-linkable low foaming wetting and glide additive for radiation-curing clears and pigmented inks and coatings.

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. 

Recorded Webinar: Comparing LED-curing to cure via high pressure mercury lamps - will slip and release effects as well as scratch resistance and other properties differ? Model formulations for graphic arts and wood coatings have been prepared and cured via standard UV cure and LED cure. Comparison data for crosslinkable and non crosslinkable additives is shown. Additionally data on the impact of inertization is shown and discussed. And of course – there will be the chance to participate and ask questions.

Recorded Webinar: In this webinar you can learn about the composition of siloxane-based additives and their distinct effects in radiation-curing formulations. You will find out what is important for the selection of a suitable additive, where the strengths and limits of this technology are. Examples are shown for the effects: substrate wetting, slip, release and defoaming.

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"

This webcast shows you various factors that lead to blocking defects in printing inks, and more importantly demonstrate 3 different formulating approaches. Lab videos and pictures are illustrated to show you how additives could help you achieve flawless finish.

This is an interactive video that showcase different service offerings to support printing inks customers thru innovations and efficiency. Come explore to take advantage of our competencies in regulatory guidance, sustainability, technical expertise and trainings.

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: 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: 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: 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.
