Go deeper with your surface energy training in the one-day Corona & Atmospheric Plasma 101 Course that’s perfect for the busy flexible packaging professional. TAPPI, in partnership with ITW Pillar Technologies (an innovative leader in surface treatment systems in the plastic film extrusion, coating, laminating, and printing industries), is presenting a training opportunity for those working with surface treatment systems.
The informative course is designed to provide a basic to intermediate understanding of surface energy, why it is important, and how corona and plasma surface modification technologies can offer solutions to surface wettability and adhesion.
The Corona & Atmospheric Plasma 101 Course will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017, in Hartland, Wis., USA. The course will be conducted at the ITW Pillar Technologies facility and combines formal classroom training with hands-on experience within a fully-equipped on-site pilot line.
