Plastorit® 000

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. 

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.

Recorded Webinar: Evonik coating additive portfolio for high solid, ultra high solid and solvent-free systems.

Recorded Webinar: The Importance of Sustainable Solutions: Defoaming, Anti-Corrosion, and Anti-Fouling effect for Marine & Protective Coatings. During this live webinar we had focused on various sustainable topics for Marine & Protective Coatings.  

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.
