It's a Sticky Matter... and That's Good on the Surface

Presented for the first time in partnership with ITW Pillar Technologies, this one-day course is designed to provide you with a basic and 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.

Understand different surface treatment system designs.
Make informed determinations and recommendations of proper surface treatment systems, or alterations of existing systems, to improve surface treatment outcomes.
Calculate and use watt density to positively influence surface treatment results.
Recognize how to measure surface tension, and the factors that affect wettability and adhesion.
Identify and apply trouble-shooting techniques and preventative maintenance best practices to improve operating uptime.
Understand the capabilities, specifications, and chemical functionalization effects provided by atmospheric plasma technologies.
Improve substrate conditioning to optimize surface treatment results.
