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.

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.

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: 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.
