TEGO® Viscoplus 3060

Offering vital insights into chemical compliance within the decorative coatings market, this webinar will focus on the growing demand for greener and more sustainable products. It will explore regulatory trends and innovative digital solutions that address the increasing communication needs across the value chain.

This webinar will introduce Evonik's newest siloxane-based defoamer which has been designed to be persistent under long times at high shear and to defoam higher PVC systems at very low use levels. As a result of its efficiency, TEGO® Foamex 8051 can provide cost-effective defoaming in pigment grinds, colorants, mill bases, and lower sheen architectural coatings.

This Learning was awarded with the prestigious Comenius EduMedia Award 2023. The award honors outstanding digital innovative educational media.

Enjoy this excellent course!

In this comprehensive interactive eLearning you will learn the basics of rheology, how rheology modifiers work and how to select and test the appropriate rheology modifier. You can stop and return any time.

Recorded Webinar: This recorded webinar presents Evonik's rheology modifier portfolio for waterborne decorative coatings. It includes some product highlights to guide the formulator to the optimum selection and usage. Watch the recording and find out how our highly efficient thickeners with ultra-low VOC can solve your problems.

Quiz on Rheology

This webinar was organised by UL prospector in November 2021 and discusses the typical defects found in architectural coatings and offers product recommendations to solve these issues. 

Wall paints are a very important application within Architectural Coatings - and renewing them is quite laborious. Optimizing the resistance to damage and wear leads to more economical and sustainable paint formulations, as it makes renovation of e.g. façades with the costly installation of scaffolding redundant. One particular headache for freshly painted façades can be the formation of so called snail trails causing an uneven appearance when there is high humidity or rain. New specialty fillers help to prevent these problems and allow to formulate very long-lasting beautiful films when formulated e.g. with optimized hydrophobing agents. For interior coatings, innovative fillers also play a major role for optimization of mechanical resistance e.g., burnish phenomena - in addition, the use of suitable surface-active agents facilitates the optimization of scuff and chemical resistance. Studies of film formation help to understand and optimize both interior and exterior formulations.

Analytical methods to describe the performance of silicone based surface control additives in waterborne wood and furniture coatings. Learn more about current trends in wood coatings, performance profile of surface control additives based on silicone chemistry in waterborne wood coatings,  the results based on analytical methods and capability of spherical precipitated silica particles to enhance the mechanical resistance of coating surfaces.

This course provides some insights on the different types of wood coating technologies. For each technology, we will describe its advantages, disadvantages and key functionalities.

Siloxane-based additives are critical tools in coating applications because their structures can be varied in order to provide a broad range of performance benefits in many types of formulations and chemistries. An attempt is made to clarify the general structure-property relationships that drive the performance attributes of siloxane additives and detail the continuum that exists between wetting, leveling, defoaming and slip within this chemistry class.

Recorded Webinar: This webinar shows you how to enhance the beauty of  your floor with a range of coating additives from Evonik.

Recorded Webinar: Coating defects can cause severe headaches in wood coating applications. We have several options of additives in our portfolio to get rid of these defects or solve challenges like wetting of difficult substrates easily. In this webinar we had provided you with recommendations for water based, solvent based & UV coatings.

Recorded Webinar: This webinar presents Evonik's rheology modifier portfolio for waterborne decorative coatings. It includes some product highlights to guide the formulator to the optimum selection and usage. Watch the recording and find out how our highly efficient thickeners with ultra-low VOC can solve your problems.

Recorded Webinar: We were delighted to offer a joint webinar with Anton Paar Germany GmbH, producer of highly accurate laboratory instruments and a world leader in the field of rheometry measurements.

The rheology of coatings is a key property to control and understand material behavior during production, transport, storage and application. In this course, you learn about important rheological terms and rheometric tests. How do they contribute to understand your product and how do they help to improve process design? 

Recorded Webinar:

In our new format "ASK the EXPERT", we devote ourselves to your questions.

Two Evonik experts take the opportunity to give thorough answers and in-depth explanations. This format allows more questions and greater detail than usually possible in a short Q&A session typically offered at the end of a webinar.

Recorded webinar: This recorded webinar presents Evonik’s special silica products and explains the main benefits of each product in waterborne matt coating systems.  The webinar covers fumed silica, matting agent and spherical silica products.

Recorded Webinar: This webinar focuses on solutions to eliminate reaction foam in WB 2K PU systems. It also covers the topic of matting of waterbased wood coatings.

This learning journey provides a very complete overview about the basics of wood coatings and will answer any questions you have on wood coatings. Our expert Heike Semmler is taking you through this journey beginning with the history of wood coatings up to the different technologies, application and test methods. The journey also explains the functionalities and characteristics of wood coatings and much more.
