COATINO® Campus, the information and learning platform of Evonik, gives access to training and information that
- simplify formulation work
- lead to better coating and ink performance
It’s never been so easy to learn how additives work, how to test, choose, and handle them.
COATINO®
Campus provides several attractive interactive eLearning modules on the key topics of defoaming, matting, substrate wetting, rheology control and regulatory framework in the coatings and inks industry. Have a closer look!
How do defoamers work? Find the answer on COATINO® Campus!
Foam is a serious problem that adversely affects production and application of paints, coatings, and inks. It has negative impact on the production as well as on the application process and causes surface defects such as craters and turbidity. Defoamers are crucial to eliminate foam in coatings and inks.
So, how do defoamers combat foam? In our comprehensive eLearning on Defoamers you will learn quickly and easily how defoamers work and how to select and test them, to find the best solution for your foam-free application.

LIFE can be glossy… but sometimes we love it MATT.
Matting agents make the difference! They can be used in various coatings and inks and turn glossy surfaces into matt surfaces. But what exactly is the difference between glossy and matt? Learn how “glossy” can be measured and how matting agents work in a wet coating film.
In the attractive, comprehensive eLearning “Matting Agents Basic” you learn fast and easily about optical phenomena, the mechanism of matting agents and their handling and incorporation. Important test methods as well as selection criteria will guide your way to the optimum choice for your application.

Substrate Wetting – Essential for successful coating application and printing
Good substrate wetting is a prerequisite for optimum adhesion, but that’s not all. Insufficient substrate wetting can lead to various coating defects that everyone aims to avoid. On some surfaces, substrate wetting can be rather challenging. But we accept this challenge!
The extensive interactive eLearning “Substrate Wetting Basics” provides a comprehensive overview of the basics of surfactants, the role of surface energy and surface tension in the wetting process and the suitability of different substrate wetting agents for various applications.

Along the river of Rheology
How do rheology modifiers work and how do you select and test the appropriate one? Our eLearning about the basics of rheology answers exactly these questions. It covers common flow behaviors, rheological effects in coatings, test methods and much more. Also included are tips and trick for adjusting the properties of your coating. Join the guided journey into the basics of rheology!

Explore the Regulatory Universe
Due to the broad spectrum of applications for coatings and inks, it is a challenge for manufacturers to ensure the compliance of their complex product formulations in all relevant application areas and regions. Keeping up with the increasingly complex regulatory environment is not only vital in our industry – it has become a massive driver for product innovation towards a safer future for consumers and environment.
We developed a comprehensive eLearning module to convey a basic regulatory understanding. Let us guide you on your trip through the universe of regulations on coatings and inks!
