Let our independent coatings expert Johan Bieleman teach you how to optimize waterborne paint quality by selecting the best surface tension modifiers for your coating formulation.

Learn how to optimize properties such as wetting, flow- and leveling, substrate wetting, color development

Discover the relation of surfactants physical and chemical characteristics versus the effect on paint properties

Learn how to solve typical high surface tension related problems in waterborne systems

This introduction e-Training Course will provide a detailed review of ingredients entering metallic waterborne basecoat formulations, and how they interact together. This will ease the achievement of the desired balance between the aesthetic, mechanical and chemical properties.

A patent prevents others from taking commercial advantage of the claimed invention. A patent for a product adds tremendous value to the product if it is part of a portfolio that effectively defends a market space. This course will help you to expand your skills at searching and interpretation of patents in order to guide your product development work and communication to colleagues and the business.

Failure to find and understand the claims in a competitor’s patent can result in expense in terms of law suits or lost business and lost opportunity in not taking advantage of a patentable invention. The focus of this online training will be on the mechanics of searching and mapping interpretation of the results for freedom to practice questions and understanding of the patent field.

In this e-training course by Jochum Beetsma you'll learn how to optimize the cost and the three stages: wetting, separation and stabilisation.

Case studies will be covered on: pigment Carbon Black, dispersants, solvent-based paint...

Troubleshoot dispersion problems with simple / low expense tests

Reduce the cost of testing dispersion related properties (get to the right solution faster)
