Discover how innovative Evonik silica particles can enhance ink performance in our webinar. We had explored various aspects of particle technology that helps in enhancing properties such as matting and rheology. Join us to learn how cutting-edge materials can boost the quality and efficiency of your applications.

Recorded Webinar: As the printing industry evolves, selecting the appropriate defoamer for each application becomes crucial. The ideal scenario involves having a selection of versatile defoamers with excellent food contact compliance to meet a wide range of defoaming requirements. In this webinar, we had presented a comprehensive portfolio of defoamers, emphasizing their use in pigment dispersion, letdown vehicles, and overprint varnishes. Additionally, we had highlighted the significance of food contact compliance, especially for indirect food contact packaging applications. Our discussion had covered defoamers that excel in tackling complex and challenging ink, coating, and overprint varnish systems. By the end of this presentation, you will would gain a deeper understanding of the various defoamer options available, empowering you to make informed decisions tailored to your specific application needs.

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: This webinar adresses the importance of global food contact compliance and defoamer & deaerating mechanisms, offering additive solutions to meet your performance & food contact regulatory requirements.

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.

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. 

Recorded Webinar: Discover our portfolio for can coating applications with a deep dive for specific effects, such as defoaming, matting, adhesion while meeting your regulatory needs.

Technical insight of important coating properties for plastic coatings and product recommendations.
