Siloxane-based additives help to adjust distinct effects like substrate wetting, slip, release and defoaming properties of radiation-curing inks and coatings. Learn more about the composition of these compounds and find out what is important for the selection of suitable additives and their chemical bases.

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.

Quiz on surface control additves.

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.

Discover how innovative Evonik silica particles can enhance ink performance in our webinar. We had explored various aspects of particle technology that helps in enhancing properties such as matting and rheology. Join us to learn how cutting-edge materials can boost the quality and efficiency of your applications.

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?

Get a barrier-free access to SML-calculation without bureaucratic hurdles and expand your toolbox for food packaging inks. The COATINO® SML-calculator instantly checks the worst-case migration of your formulation according to the rules of Swiss Ordinance.

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: 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.

Keeping pace with product compliance in an increasingly complex regulatory environment is a challenge. In this webinar, we had summarized current changes and comprehensive insights on key compliance matters and sustainability topics. Digital tools were shown which help you to get the updated data you need.

The aspect of a coated surface is positively enhanced by the use of additives for surface control. Using the example of automotive coatings the different aspects of leveling, wetting and haptic effects has been shown on three substrates.

This webinar was part of the Surface Weeks.
