S1: Fundamentals of Pigments and Millbase Formulation - Christian Schmitz
In this session, we will discuss the most important raw materials for an optimal millbase formulation. Since pigment grinding is the most time- and energy-intensive step in the manufacturing process, stabilization and flow properties must be adjusted accordingly. The manufacturing process and paint formulation are intrinsically linked from a technical perspective.
Key Points:
· Adjusting flowability for pigment-rich millbases
· Role of dispersing agents & particle surface properties
· Enhancement of Manufacturing Process Efficiency |

S2: Modern Methods in Coatings Analysis - Michael Dornbusch
Quality assurance throughout coating formulations and application is critical to understand coating properties and failure analysis. The presentation will demonstrate how modern spectroscopic methods enable the early detection and analysis of coating properties while providing deeper insights into their underlying causes.
Key Points:
· Common spectroscopic tools and their applications for coatings
· Electrochemical tools for corrosion analysis
· Combination of mechanical and spectroscopic methods – no rocket science
· Advanced methods |

S3: New Approaches to Dispersant Selection for Steric Stabilization of Pigments - Christian Schmitz
This session will present the role of adsorption and wetting processes involving supporting additives in the pigment stabilization process, based on the current state of research. The presentation introduces current research at the Hochschule Niederrhein on polarity, intermolecular interactions, adsorption processes, and alternative polarity scales beyond the well-known Hansen solubility parameters.
Key Points:
· Mechanisms of adsorption and particle stabilization
· Surface properties of pigment particles
· Polarity scales describing compatibility and surface interactions |

S4: Non-toxic, Sustainable Coatings - Michael Dornbusch
This session will present new approaches to alternative cross-linking technologies for sustainable coating systems. For example, oligomeric binders based on phytic acid can be developed for the cross-linking of epoxides and polyols.
Key Points:
· REACH, Reason for all
· Common sustainable resins, additives and coating formulations
· Challenge: sustainable corrosion protective coatings is solved |
