Why should you view this course?

Pigments & fillers play a key role in paints and inks. It goes far beyond color for pigments and cost for fillers… They can help improve key film properties such as adhesion, barrier properties, flexibility, mechanical strength, sandability, and scratch resistance, as well as lower VOCs.

  1. Predict the effect of pigments & fillers on your formulations by simply using their characteristics described in TDS (shape, hardness, critical PVC, oil adsorption…).

  2. Reduce system costs, lower VOC, improve adhesion by exploiting pigments & fillers to their full potential in your coatings & inks.

  3. Troubleshoot faster by having sufficient knowledge of your materials to understand what is happening & how to fix it.

Who should join this course?

  • Formulators of coatings, inks, and pigment concentrates

  • Suppliers of pigments, additives, and fillers for coatings and inks

  • This course is suitable for intermediate level proficiency

Course Outline

Principles and phenomena associated with the production, stability, application, and lifetime of coatings and inks will be discussed in this online course. Jochum Beetsma will tackle typical behavior of liquid systems like dispersion, stability, and rheology. We will explore how solid raw materials, such as pigments and fillers, influence virtually all system properties.

Summary of the topics included in the e-Training Course:

Properties of liquid systems: rheology, solids content, VOC, colloidal stability, sedimentation, and wear of equipment.

Properties of films: adhesion, flexibility, permeability, corrosion resistance, hardness, abrasion resistance, sandability, chemical resistance, hiding power, and color strength.

Key properties of solid raw materials: particle size, particle shape, specific surface area, oil adsorption value, Critical Pigment Volume Concentration, Mohs hardness, surface composition, post-treatment, pH, density, and fastness.

Link between properties of solid raw materials and properties of complete systems and films resulting from those systems.
