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.

• Process Engineers working in Flexible Packaging Converting Operations
• Supervisors working in Flexible Packaging Converting Operations
• Printing/Coating/Lamination Operators working in Film Extrusion Segments
• Maintenance Managers working in Nonwovens and Textile Finishing Segments
• Superintendents and Technical Assistants working in Paper and Foil Converting Segments.
