Heighten your surface energy training at the Corona & Atmospheric 101 Course. Perfect for the busy flexible packaging professional, this one-day workshop from TAPPI and  in partnership with ITW Pillar Technologies (an innovative leader in surface treatment systems in the plastic film extrusion, coating, laminating, and printing industries), features an excellent training opportunity for those working with surface treatment systems. Attendees will: 

• Learn how to improve surface adhesion and product performance. 
• Gain 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. 
• Discover ways that corona and plasma surface medication technologies offer solutions to surface wettability and adhesion.  

The workshop will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017, in Hartland, Wis., USA. The course, to be conducted at the ITW Pillar Technologies facility, will combine formal classroom training with hands-on experience within a fully-equipped on-site pilot line. Take a look at the course schedule.  

 

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.
