Improved Wet Adhesion and Scratch Resistance in Coatings with VISIOMER® MEEU Monomer

Recorded Webinar: 

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.

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.
