Eager to learn more?
Check out the interactive course “Sustainability for Coatings and Inks” or get a comprehensive overview of the regulatory framework in the coatings and inks industry in our eLearning “Regulatory Universe”.

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 for coating and inks work and how to select and test the appropriate rheology modifier. After successfully completing the course, you will receive a personalized certificate. During the course, you can pause and resume at any time.

Rheology made Easy. Introduction of our new product group AEROSIL® Easy-to-disperse for Industrial&Transportation coatings and many more application fields. Technical background and benefits in regard to save your time, effort and costs.

Saving time, energy&money - with our new COATINO® Cost Savings Calculator for AEROSIL® E2D individual parameter for your formulations can be calculated and compared.Using the example of AEROSIL® E2D, we show how the new tool compares process parameters of high-shear milling with standard fumed silica vs. dissolver milling. Furthermore we do a deep dive for more sustainability aspects and present a detailed LCA analysis for our new technology Easy-to-disperse AEROSIL®.

Recorded Webinar: Learn how Evonik’s versatile powder coating additives can take your formulations to the next level. Effects like free-flow, matting and pigment wetting will be in the focus. Beside well established brands like AEROXIDE® our experts explain technical benefits of the new TEGO® Powder Aid D01.

As the printing industry advances towards higher printing speeds and a broader range of graphic effects, the utilization of both fumed and precipitated silica in printing inks has become prevalent. The choice of particle sizes and surface treatments plays a crucial role in influencing the ink formulation's matting effect and rheology behavior. This presentation aims to explore the benefits of using engineered silicas such as AEROSIL®, ACEMATT®, SIPERNAT®, and SPHERILEX® in printing inks applications. The discussion will focus on how these silicas can enhance key properties like Rheology Control, Matting, Anti-block, and scratch resistance in the ink formulations.

In less than 7 minutes we would like to tell you about our latest investment for Inkjet applications, what it can do for us and what we could do for you.
Belief in the potential that inkjet represents for the printing industry is reflected in our continued efforts to provide our customers with specific recommendations, custom solutions and even specifically developed products. Find out more about the technical capabilities of our drop watcher and print station, and about modes of collaboration we offer that may assist you on your path of developing inkjet inks.

What are the important physico chemical parameters when formulating inks and how to characterize and optimize them. Recording kindly provided by Krüss.

This is a re-recording of the paper given at Inkjet Congress 2019. "Promoting Curing Speed: Ideal Surfactants for LED Curing Inkjet Inks"

This webinar had introduced the know-how related the structure-property relationship of substrate wetting agents and their impact on the quality of the printed image as an integral part in enabling hight throughput digital printing.

Recorded Webinar: Staying compliant with regulations is becoming more crucial than ever when it comes to creating new printing inks. This webinar is designed to offer advanced knowledge and comprehensive insights on key compliance matters.

Recorded Webinar: UV inkjet inks develop fast in recent years in the application of label, tobacco packaging and PCB etc. In this webinar we had shared our additive solutions for UV inkjet ink application, we had introduced our high performance dispersants for different type of pigments dispersing, surface control additives especially crosslinkable product series which can help to improve substrate wetting, slip property and scratch resistance etc, and our Co-binders which can help to boost the curing speed, improve adhesion and pigment wetting etc.

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 are presented. The first part presented solutions for pigment preparations and particle stabilization, so how to control the color and appearance of an ink. Part 2, will be related to foam, slip, release and substrate wetting - so control of the physical parameters of an ink.
