Description

The coatings, adhesives, and polymer industries are undergoing a radical transformation as next-generation crosslinking technologies redefine performance benchmarks. With tightening VOC regulations, rising demand for sustainable materials, and the need for smarter, self-healing formulations, traditional crosslinkers like isocyanates, melamine, and epoxies are reaching their limits. Breakthrough chemistries like vitrimers, click chemistry, enzymatic crosslinking, and non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) are unlocking unprecedented possibilities: ambient-cure adhesives, recyclable thermosets, bio-based coatings, and ultra-durable composites. From self-healing automotive clearcoats to low-temperature-cure construction sealants, these innovations solve critical challenges in aerospace, EV batteries, flexible packaging, and medical devices. Advanced characterization techniques like real-time FTIR-rheology and AFM-IR nanoscale mapping ensure precise network control, while dynamic covalent bonds enable reprocessable, high-performance materials.

As REACH, Prop 65, and PFAS restrictions reshape the industry, forward-thinking formulators are adopting bio-derived aldehydes, silane hybrids, and UV/thermal dual-cure systems to stay ahead. Whether optimizing cure speed, mechanical strength, or chemical resistance, next-gen crosslinking is the key to sustainable, high-performance material science. The future belongs to those who innovate beyond conventional chemistry, so question is will your formulations lead or lag behind?

Why you should not miss the training?

This online training is a must-have opportunity and here are the reasons you can’t afford to miss this deep dive into next-gen crosslinking tech.

1. Solve Impossible Formulation Challenges: Crack the code on low-VOC ambient curing, self-healing coatings, and multi-substrate adhesion with proprietary case studies from Solvay, Henkel, and BASF data you won’t find in journals.

2. Future-Proof Against Regulatory Disruption: Get ahead of 2026 REACH/CLP bans on formaldehyde donors and isocyanates with drop-in alternatives already proven in aerospace and EV applications.

3. Cut R&D Time (and Costs) in Half: Steal bench-tested protocols for vitrimer scale-up, enzymatic curing optimization, and NIPU cost reduction avoiding dead-end experiments.

4. Unlock Hidden Performance Gains: Discover how click chemistry and silane hybrids are achieving 300% faster cure speeds and 50% better humid aging resistance versus legacy systems.

Who should attend this training?

This is highly recommended and must have training for chemical industry professionals engaged in diverse application/formulation areas; in particular:

    - R&D Chemists, formulators (Coatings/Adhesives/Polymers)
    - Technical managers, product developers overseeing material innovation
    - Formulation Scientists solving high-end performance challenges
