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.

Sustainability is now a pivotal factor in driving business success. By embedding sustainable practices into their processes, formulators of coatings and inks not only promote innovation but also achieve enhanced performance and sustainable long-term growth.

This webinar is part of our weekly webinar series in May: Sustainability as a Business Driver - A Path to Better Performance.

For our Surface Weeks we lined up 4 one-hour weekly webinars.

This Curriculum contains the recordings of all 4 events.

As part of this series, 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.

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”.

In this comprehensive, interactive eLearning you will learn about matting agents for coatings and inks, their working mechanism and discover typical test methods and how to select the ideal matting agent. After successfully completing the course, you will receive a personalized certificate. During the course, you can pause and resume at any time.

In this comprehensive, interactive eLearning you will learn the basics of surface control additives for coatings and inks. You get an overview of the basics of leveling, touch modifying, slip and release effects and the basic chemistry. You learn easily how surface control additives work and how to test the coating effects to find the optimal dosage for your application. During the course, you can pause and resume at any time.

Learn more about the new matting agent pastes CSTICO®matt TS 100 and CSTICO®matt 810 SP from CSC Jäklechemie, especially suitable for water-based, clear and pigmented 1K systems as well as UV systems. The innovative matting pastes have a very narrow particle size distribution, promising excellent performance in terms of matting and surface protection. They are thixotropic, allowing them to be processed easily with low shear force despite their high solid content, but do not settle hard during storage. This means CSTICO® matt TS 100 and CSTICO® matt 810 SP can be used universally and as post-additives.

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 some insights on the different types of wood coating technologies. For each technology, we will describe its advantages, disadvantages and key functionalities.

This learning journey provides a very complete set of information about the ACEMATT® portfolio for wood coatings. It explains how the matting agents work, how to handle and test them in a coating, and provides some product recommendations for the different wood coating technologies.

Quiz on Matting Agents

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.
