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. 

 

 

The course will be led by Rory Wolf, business unit manager with ITW Pillar Technologies, who is a recognized industry resource in the field of polymer surface modification. He has published 33 technical papers, 41 industry articles, and three books on the topic of plastic surface modification by atmospheric plasma technology.
