Module Additives - The trouble-shooters

Presenters: Michael Dreyer, Wacker Chemie AG
Dr. Wilfried Scholz, BYK Chemie GmbH
Dr. Christian Schaller, Ciba, Basel


Additives are coming to the fore as the demands on quality rise and environmental legislation is tightened up. Additives avoid defects and impart specific properties to coating systems. They are also critical to the marketability of a coating material. This module deals with wetting and dispersing additives along with rheological and surface additives. UV absorbers will be presented, too. On completion, you will be able to control the properties of your coating systems through the judicious choice of additives.

Topics covered:
  • Effects achievable with additives
  • Which surface additives exist and where they are used
  • How to control the rheology of a coating system with additives
  • The chemistry behind antifoams
  • The applications properties of the various types of binder
  • How act UV absorber and radical scavenger
  • Which light stabilizers are used for aqueous applications

Date:
13 - 16 October 2008
Time: 16.00 - 17.30 h CET
Course fee: 490,00 EUR
