It’s time to build your knowledge in paper coatings – raw materials, formulation, application and testing. The WMU Paper Pilot Plant has partnered with TAPPI to offer the Paper and Paperboard Coating Course, held Tuesday, July 25 – Thursday, July 27 at WMU in Kalamazoo, MI. The course will cover the basics and highlight new developments in barrier and functional coatings. Participants will meet over 15 expert guest speakers, build their knowledge and network over the three days.
Plan to attend and gain a holistic understanding of coating raw materials, processes and applications. Participants will get an excellent background on the leading professionals’ new developments in packaging, barrier materials and curtain coating. With an impressive lineup of expert speakers, this is a can’t miss opportunity.
The course also includes tours of the WMU Paper Pilot Plants (high-speed coater, paper machine, recycling plants) and paper-related laboratories. A networking dinner at the world-famous Bell’s Brewery will be provided and includes food, drink, live jazz and prizes. The networking alone is worth the price of admission.
