Solving Film Defects Faster (Part 2)

A 90-min online short course by Jochum Beetsma
Solving Film Defects Faster (Part 2)
Optimize faster coatings & inks film performance by better analyzing causes of defects (pigment mobility, solvent separation, gradients in surface tension...) and choosing efficient solutions.

By referring to physical chemistry principles, Jochum Beetsma will show you how to deduct, what to adjust for efficient problem solving.
Course Type Formulation - Level Advanced
Why you should attend
  1. Improve problem analysis with proper film defects identification and understanding (cratering, pinholing, crawling, floating...)
  2. Save time by knowing from start what to adjust thanks to confident use of physical chemistry principles (Gibbs energy, surface tension...)
  3. Develop simpler, more cost-effective formulations by avoiding the multiplication of unnecessary additives in your paint or ink system
Who is it for?
Coatings and Inks formulators / developers with a need to better apply science behind film defects to attack problem more efficiently.

The following sections will be covered during this 2-part course:

Part 1: Tue. November 27, 2012

1. Basic physical chemistry
Gibbs energy
Surface tension
Wetting
Capillary pressure

2. Coating film defects
Surface Tension Gradient Driven Flow
Levelling
Crawling
Cratering
Orange peel

3. Case Studies
Marangoni Effect
Wetting Agent in Waterbased Paint
Coating of Plastics
Orange Peel in Powder Coating
Matt Coatings
Matt 2-Component paint
Anti-Corrosive Primer for Steel
Loss of Adhesion

Part 2: Tue. December 11, 2012

1. Basic physical chemistry
Surface tension
Wetting
Surface Tension Gradient Driven Flow

2. Coating film defects
Floating
Hammer finish
Flooding
Picture framing
Poor edge coverage
Pinholing
Popping
Foam
Stresses

3. Discussion of Case Studies from Part 1
Marangoni Effect
Wetting Agent in Waterbased Paint
Coating of Plastics
Orange Peel in Powder Coating
Matt Coatings
Matt 2-Component paint
Anti-Corrosive Primer for Steel
Loss of Adhesion

At the end of the training there will be a Q&A Session where you can pose questions to Jochum Beetsma.

A transcript of all the questions and answers will be made available after the event.

Chad K. , from Lexmark International:
"This course connects experimental results and observations with the underlying physical science and principles governing coating defects. This is the best discussion of surface energy and surface wetting/dewetting that I have heard."

Christopher J. , from International Paint/Akzonobel:
"The course helped improve my understanding of the cause of coating defects, and has equiped me with the tools to analyse and resolve these problems."

Gerry G. , from Albany International:
"I gained a better understanding of "cratering" vs "orange peel" I am looking forward to Part 2, to determine the difference between cratering vs. pinholes. and the difference between "hammer finish" vs. "orange peel"."

Ian M. , from Verdex Ltd.:
"Gave a good insight into some relevant surface issues we are currently having."

In many cases film formation of coatings does not proceed in the way it is desired by the formulator and by the user of the system.

A variety of phenomena governs the processes taking place during film formation. Often one of these phenomena results in a bad film being formed. Prevention and resolution of film defects in coatings & inks costs a huge amount of time and money. Many companies rely on trial-and-error approaches in order to resolve problems that come up which can leads to higher development time, more expensive formulations...

By better understanding the physical chemistry root causes of film defects and connecting this knowledge to practical formulation & application considerations (excluding certain additives, adding surfactants, adjusting rheology, modifying substrate...) you will solve faster any film defects you face in the future.
