Polyurethanes

SHORT COURSE | April 15-16, 2024

Co-located with the 2024 Convention & EXPO in Louisville, KY.

Polyurethanes are one of the most versatile chemistries used in many adhesive applications due to their outstanding ability to bond a variety of substrates in both rigid and flexible applications. With versatility, however, comes complexity. Optimization of urethane technology is enhanced by a thorough understanding of the reactions between isocyanates, diols, chain extenders and the resulting morphology. This intensive two day short course will cover the chemistry and technology behind 1 and 2 part polyurethane adhesives and sealants including…

Formulation Strategies

SHORT COURSE | April 15-16, 2024

Co-located with the 2024 Convention & EXPO in Louisville, KY.

Successful adhesive development; from design to production, requires a clearly developed business case with a performance goal, rigorous formulating protocol using a complex list of ingredients and an understanding of scale up, production and end use conditions. This short course will deliver a comprehensive fundamental platform, highlighted through industry case studies to increase your understanding of the best practices and programs one needs to design, formulate, evaluate and launch new or enhanced adhesives via intensive instruction and case studies…
