Formulation to Performance: Advanced Characterisation for Paints, Coatings & Inks

Anton Paar Ltd invites you to our workshop: Formulation to Performance - Advanced Characterisation for Paints, Coatings & Inks.  Designed for industrial scientists and academic researchers, this workshop provides practical insights into the behaviour of paints, coatings and inks, introducing advanced testing methods from raw materials to end-use durability.

Paints, coatings and pigments are critical in industries from automotive and aerospace to construction, packaging and consumer goods. Ensuring consistent quality, performance and compliance requires both deep material understanding and the right measurement tools.

This workshop will cover characterisation techniques across the full lifecycle - from formulation to application and finished product. Learn how particle size, rheology, viscosity, density, dispersion stability and more can drive smarter formulation, better process control and improved product performance.

Key Takeaways:

• End-to-End Understanding: See how measurement techniques apply from raw materials to final application.
• Essential Parameters: Master rheology, viscosity, particle size, zeta potential, density and dispersion stability.
• Quality & Consistency: Learn how advanced methods support optimisation, consistency and performance prediction.
• Hands-On Access: Experience Anton Paar’s technologies in R&D and quality control.
• Real Applications: Case studies showing how data drives decisions in formulation and QC.
• Networking: Exchange ideas with specialists and peers.

Topics Covered:

• Powder Characterisation – particle size, density and flow behaviour.
• Dispersion & Stability – particle size and zeta potential for pigment performance.
• Rheological Characterisation – shear thinning, thixotropy and yield stress.
• Viscosity & Flow Behaviour – low- and high-shear viscosity across temperatures.
• Density & Solid Content – VOC compliance, cost control and accurate formulation.
• Chemical & Compositional Analysis – FTIR, Raman and microwave digestion.
• Application Testing – simulate real-world performance issues like sagging, adhesion and scratch resistance.
