High performance siloxane-based additives for radiation-curing formulations

Recording from November 22, 2023

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.

UV to LED and the performance of surface control additives

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.

Outperformulate your waterborne inks - Part II

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.

Surface Week 1: Metal Coatings

Recorded Webinar: We were delighted to offer a joint webinar with Synthomer, one of the world’s leading suppliers of sustainable water-based and differentiated polymer solutions.

This webinar has focused on the importance of pre-treatment of metal surfaces. The session has coved the application of 1K anti-corrosion primers and direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings, highlighting their benefits in protecting against environmental factors. Additionally, we have discussed the film formation process and common surface defects that can impact performance.

This webinar was part of the Surface Weeks.
