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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Quiz on Matting Agents

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.
