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.

Review of Evonik's architectural coating defoamer performance with support of the COATINO® Defect Detection tool.

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.

This course provides some insights on the Evonik's defoamer portfolio for Architectural coatings and help formulators to identify the optimum solution for their system.

Quiz on Defoamers

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 technical insights on foam control in floor coatings and explains the benefits of using deaerators and defoamers, how they function and provides product recommendations.

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.
