Optimizing Extrusion-Based Lamination and Coating Technology
This intermediate level course in the operation, optimization, and design of extrusion lamination and coating processes focuses on improving existing extrusion lamination and coating equipment. The course is organized according to unit processes to facilitate understanding of potential productivity improvements that can be achieved by optimizing or upgrading existing machines or specifying new equipment.
Introduction to Film Substrates
Course Overview
This daylong course provides in-depth information about film substrates used for coating, printing and metallization. The key focus will be on polymer films, manufacturing methods and their influence on film properties, key substrate properties, how to specify, measure and control input materials and final property development. Other topics include the impact of film mechanical and surface properties on process setup and tension and winding control. The primary focus will be on polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene as well as polyimide films while introducing other polymer films, paper and paper coatings.
Who Should Attend
This one-day class is designed for anyone needing a fuller understanding of the film substrates currently being used in or contemplated for production, but will be especially useful for product development and production engineers, quality control, marketing and purchasing personnel and business managers and owners.
