VISIOMER® IDMA

With the growing demand for sustainable solutions, particularly for additives that can replace PFAS, Evonik CAD offers an ideal portfolio of additives designed to empower coating and ink formulators to achieve superior performance.

Join this exclusive webinar to explore Evonik's innovative solutions that meet regulatory requirements and sustainability goals, without compromising on quality.

This webinar is part of our weekly webinar series in May: Sustainability as a Business Driver - A Path to Better Performance.

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

Sustainability is reshaping the coatings landscape, and real progress requires transparency, verifiable data, and future ready materials. This session will introduce how Synthomer embeds sustainability into product development and customer collaboration: From measuring environmental impact through Product Carbon Footprints and Life Cycle Assessments to advancing ISCC+ certified mass balance chemistries. We’ll highlight practical examples from both architectural and industrial coatings to demonstrate how sustainable solutions can be implemented across diverse applications. The webinar will also address how evolving regulatory and ecolabel requirements, such as APEO free, PFAS free and EU Ecolabel, are influencing raw material selection and product design. Join us for a clear, practical view of the strategies, certifications, and technologies shaping the future of sustainable coatings.

This webinar is part of our weekly webinar series in May: Sustainability as a Business Driver - A Path to Better Performance.

Sustainability is now a pivotal factor in driving business success. By embedding sustainable practices into their processes, formulators of coatings and inks not only promote innovation but also achieve enhanced performance and sustainable long-term growth.

Insufficient wet adhesion has long been a difficult problem for paints, and finding functional adhesion monomers with high efficiency and easy synthesis is an effective shortcut to solve. In this webinar, you will learn about the use of Evonik’s wet adhesion monomer developed by introducing urea group into methacrylate. A small amount of VISIOMER® MEEU added to the emulsion synthesis process can significantly improve the adhesion and scratch resistance of architectural and industrial paints.

Sustainability is important in all industries. During our presentation, we had shown several examples for integrating sustainable products into diverse applications.

We had outlined novel sustainable specialty methacrylates from Evonik´s Specialty Methacrylate product line and had given examples including solutions for ambient-temperature crosslinking and for the creation of stable core-shell polymers.

• Biobased methacrylates as drop-in solutions for existing monomers&extended solutions creating new monomers with superior performance
• Methacrylate solutions beyond biobased
• Creating positive effects for carbon footprint handprint

Automotive Refinish Coatings – Part II: Background, chemistry, and product recommendations for automotive refinish coatings in regarding to Filler&Putties.

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.

Deep insight to global vehicle production and OEM market perspective.
