We were delighted to offer a joint webinar with Biesterfeld AG, Distribution Partner for Plastics, Rubber and Specialty Chemicals.

PTFE is widely applied as an key ingredient to obtain high-end coatings that offer i.e. abrasion resistance, high water repellence, anti-corrosion and chemical resistance. As the demand for waterborne coatings increases, the Biesterfeld AG and Evonik presented solutions for quickly prepared and easy to handle stable waterborne fluorosurfactant-free PTFE dispersions in this webinar. Learn more about the PTFE powders and additives used that merge in PTFE-dispersions that cover high solid contents, various viscosities and convincing draw-down profiles.

One dispersant for all types of pigments. Widely applicable dispersing agent for waterborne formulations for various Industrial applications. Technical background, benefits and application fields in a brief and powerful presentation.

You can find supplementary content, such as links or documents ready for download, in the “Resources” tab.

This learning journey explains the benefits of using wetting agents, grind aids and co-dispersants to boost the performance of architectural coatings.

Automotive Refinish Coatings – Part II: Background, chemistry, and product recommendations for automotive refinish coatings in regarding to Filler&Putties.

Automotive Refinish Coatings – Part I: A General Overview Background, chemistry, market requirements, and future of automotive refinish coatings are discussed.

In less than 7 minutes we would like to tell you about our latest investment for Inkjet applications, what it can do for us and what we could do for you.
Belief in the potential that inkjet represents for the printing industry is reflected in our continued efforts to provide our customers with specific recommendations, custom solutions and even specifically developed products. Find out more about the technical capabilities of our drop watcher and print station, and about modes of collaboration we offer that may assist you on your path of developing inkjet inks.

What are the important physico chemical parameters when formulating inks and how to characterize and optimize them. Recording kindly provided by Krüss.

This is a re-recording of the paper given at Inkjet Congress 2019. "Promoting Curing Speed: Ideal Surfactants for LED Curing Inkjet Inks"

Quiz on Dispersion of Pigments

Deep insight to global vehicle production and OEM market perspective.

Recording from January 17, 2023

This webinar had introduced the know-how related the structure-property relationship of substrate wetting agents and their impact on the quality of the printed image as an integral part in enabling hight throughput digital printing.

Recording from August 19, 2021

We discuss different defects generally happening in Automotive application layer wise and suggest our CAD additives to rectify those defects.

We were delighted to offer a joint webinar with NETZSCH-Feinmahltechnik GmbH, the world's leading company in the field of wet grinding, dispersion and homogenization as well as mixing and kneading.

For the production of paints, coatings and inks, a wide variety of raw materials must be processed into complex formulations. This requires various process steps in which the different components must be mixed, homogenized and ground to a defined particle size distribution. In the lecture, various processing options, advantages and disadvantages as well as optimization potentialshad been discussed and complete solutions had been presented.

This webinar was part of the Dispersion Weeks.

In this webinar we had covered requirements, test methods and formulation strategies for resin containing, resin reduced and resin free pigment bases for water born inks. Learn, how you can improve the color strength and support an efficient grinding process.

This webinar was part of the Dispersion Weeks.

Recorded Webinar: Staying compliant with regulations is becoming more crucial than ever when it comes to creating new printing inks. This webinar is designed to offer advanced knowledge and comprehensive insights on key compliance matters.

Recorded Webinar: UV inkjet inks develop fast in recent years in the application of label, tobacco packaging and PCB etc. In this webinar we had shared our additive solutions for UV inkjet ink application, we had introduced our high performance dispersants for different type of pigments dispersing, surface control additives especially crosslinkable product series which can help to improve substrate wetting, slip property and scratch resistance etc, and our Co-binders which can help to boost the curing speed, improve adhesion and pigment wetting etc.

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 are presented. The first part presented solutions for pigment preparations and particle stabilization, so how to control the color and appearance of an ink. Part 2, will be related to foam, slip, release and substrate wetting - so control of the physical parameters of an ink.
