  1. Solution

    Adhesion

    13 Markets
    35 Products
    140 Recommendations
    Strong adhesion ensures reliable bonding between the coating or ink and the substrate. It supports effective wetting and chemical anchoring, even on difficult surfaces such as plastics, metals, or low‑energy substrates. This results in improved durability, resistance to delamination, and long‑term performance of the applied system.

    Corrosion protection

    4 Markets
    18 Products
    32 Recommendations
    Corrosion protection mechanisms shield substrates from moisture, oxygen, and aggressive substances. They stabilize the coating matrix and actively inhibit corrosion mechanisms at the substrate interface. The result is extended asset lifetime, reduced maintenance, and long‑term protection even under harsh conditions.

    De-Inking

    2 Markets
    1 Products
    2 Recommendations
    Efficient de‑inking enables the clean separation of inks from substrates during recycling. Ink particles are released and removed more easily, improving flotation and washing efficiency. This leads to higher recyclate quality and supports sustainable, circular material concepts.

    Film enhancement

    7 Markets
    39 Products
    121 Recommendations
    Optimized film formation improves coalescence, flow, and surface uniformity. Defects such as pinholes, craters, or poor leveling are effectively minimized. This creates smooth, continuous films with enhanced optical and mechanical properties.

    Foam control

    18 Markets
    66 Products
    340 Recommendations
    Controlled foam behavior ensures smooth production, filling and application of coatings. Entrapped air is rapidly released, while surface foam is efficiently suppressed. This supports consistent film build, stable production, and defect‑free coating and ink surfaces.

    Hydrophobation

    2 Markets
    14 Products
    25 Recommendations
    Hydrophobic effects reduce water uptake and increase resistance to moisture. The coating surface becomes more water‑repellent, limiting penetration and swelling. This enhances durability and performance, particularly in humid or outdoor applications.

    Matting

    15 Markets
    22 Products
    195 Recommendations
    Matting enables precise adjustment of surface gloss without compromising film integrity. A controlled micro‑rough surface structure delivers uniform light scattering. This allows consistent matte appearance and attractive surface aesthetics.

    Pigment Wetting & Dispersing

    18 Markets
    77 Products
    411 Recommendations
    Effective pigment wetting and dispersion ensure uniform distribution of pigments and fillers. Agglomerates are broken down and stabilized, preventing sedimentation and color inconsistency. This delivers high color strength, optimal gloss, and long‑term formulation stability.

    Powder Fluidization

    1 Markets
    10 Products
    10 Recommendations
    Improved powder fluidization enhances flowability and handling during processing. Reduced interparticle friction prevents clumping and segregation. This ensures uniform feeding, consistent application, and reproducible coating quality.

    Rheology Control

    15 Markets
    18 Products
    238 Recommendations
    Tailored rheology provides balanced viscosity and flow across all shear conditions. It prevents sagging, settling, and phase separation while maintaining easy application. This enables precise control over film thickness, appearance, and performance.

    Substrate wetting

    16 Markets
    53 Products
    310 Recommendations
    Effective substrate wetting promotes rapid and uniform spreading of the formulation. Surface tension differences are balanced to avoid defects such as crawling or pinholing. The result is complete coverage and improved adhesion.

    Surface control

    17 Markets
    85 Products
    420 Recommendations
    Surface control optimizes surface tension gradients during film formation. It prevents defects such as craters, fisheyes, and orange peel. This delivers smooth surfaces with excellent visual quality and functional performance.

    Thermal management

    1 Markets
    16 Products
    20 Recommendations
    Thermal management supports controlled heat restistance or insulation within the coating. Temperature‑related stress is reduced under operating conditions. This enhances reliability, performance stability, and service life of coated components.
