Acquire the practical skills you need at the TAPPI Corona & Atmospheric Plasma 101 Course, a comprehensive, one-day workshop.  Planned in partnership with ITW Pillar Technologies (an innovative leader in surface treatment systems in the plastic film extrusion, coating, laminating, and printing industries), this course features an excellent hands-on training opportunity for those working with surface treatment systems.  

 

The event is located at the ITW Pillar Technologies facility where you will have the opportunity to work with the on-site, fully-equipped pilot line. The workshop will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017, in Hartland, Wis., USA.

 

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. This course is perfect for the busy flexible packaging professional who is interested in learning within a classroom environment and in a surface treatment facility. Take a look at the course schedule and what you’ll learn in a short period of time.  

 

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.
