TEGO® Foamex 8051

Keeping pace with product compliance in an increasingly complex regulatory environment is a challenge. In this webinar, we summarize current changes and comprehensive insights on key compliance matters and sustainability topics. Digital tools will be shown which help you to get the updated data you need.

In this comprehensive interactive eLearning you can learn what foam is all about, how defoamers work and how to select and test defoamers. You can stop and return any time.

This webinar has introduced Evonik's newest siloxane-based defoamer which has been designed to be persistent under long times at high shear and to defoam higher PVC systems at very low use levels. As a result of its efficiency, TEGO® Foamex 8051 can provide cost-effective defoaming in pigment grinds, colorants, mill bases, and lower sheen architectural 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.

This webcast shows you various factors that lead to blocking defects in printing inks, and more importantly demonstrate 3 different formulating approaches. Lab videos and pictures are illustrated to show you how additives could help you achieve flawless finish.

This is an interactive video that showcase different service offerings to support printing inks customers thru innovations and efficiency. Come explore to take advantage of our competencies in regulatory guidance, sustainability, technical expertise and trainings.

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?

Get a barrier-free access to SML-calculation without bureaucratic hurdles and expand your toolbox for food packaging inks. The COATINO® SML-calculator instantly checks the worst-case migration of your formulation according to the rules of Swiss Ordinance.

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.

Offering vital insights into chemical compliance within the decorative coatings market, this webinar had focused on the growing demand for greener and more sustainable products. It had explored regulatory trends and innovative digital solutions that address the increasing communication needs across the value chain.

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.
