Develop WB coatings that can at last deliver as expected by controlling surface/interface tensions with the right set of surface-active additives ( wetting agents, levelers, defoamers…) .
Johan Bieleman will share his practical experience (>35 years) on how to select the right chemistry at the optimal loading and how to mix additives for maximum synergy & simplicity.

Why you should attend
- Save time selecting surfactants (polysiloxanes, polyfluorsurfactants...) with a detailed review of their pros & cons by an expert in additives
- Reduce costs of your WB coatings and inks by adjusting variety and loadings of additives used to reach targeted performance
- Achieve better balance in paint properties (wetting, adhesion, leveling, film appearance...) by efficiently controling tensions at different interfaces
Who is it for?
Formulators, technicians, engineers, scientists & managers involved in the development of waterborne paints, inks and related ingredients and those switching from solventborne coatings

The following sections will be covered during this session:
- Introduction: why surfactants are essential ingredients in a waterborne paint
- How surfactants help influence performance, cost and quality
- Fundamentals of Surface Tension
- Review of Surfactant families (benefits & drawbacks)
-
Organic hydrocarbon based surfactants
-
sulphates, sulphonates
- sulphosuccinates
- phosphate esters
- carboxylates
- polyols
- quats, various
-
Polysiloxanes
- Polyfluorsurfactants
- Pigment wetting
- Side effects: Film defects and surface control
- Side effects: Foaming and Defoaming
- Optimizing surfactant usage for cost efficiency & reduction of side-effects
- Summary
At the end of the training there will be a Q&A Session where you can pose questions to Johan Bieleman.
A transcript of all the questions and answers will be made available after the event.

Brian D. ,
from Eliokem Inc.:
"It provided insights of some ways to select the optimal surfactant types to assist with overcoming various formulation issues."
Matt H. ,
from National Coatings:
"The course very well explained the process involved in the reduction of surface tension."
Daniel K. ,
from DuPont:
"It gave me a good understanding of the interactions of components in the coating."
Formulating waterborne systems requires the use of plenty of surface-active additives (wetting agents, levelers, associative thickeners, defoamers...) and it is often difficult to find the right balance in composition to achieve desired performance while minimizing side-effects.
With the structured review on how to best control surface / interfacial tension in waterborne systems, you will gain in autonomy & efficiency in your future coatings & inks formulation work.
Especially, you will be able:
to select additives on solid grounds rather than just trusting suppliers recommendations to play with your formulation (composition & loadings) to achieve / adjust performance.
