Description

Bonding dissimilar materials such as metals, plastics, composites, and coated surfaces introduces complex interfacial risks that cannot be resolved through adhesive selection alone. Differences in surface energy, polarity, roughness, and chemical compatibility often lead to poor wetting, interfacial failure, or long-term durability loss. In addition, mismatches in coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), stiffness, and environmental resistance generate internal stresses that can cause fatigue cracking, creep, or delamination during service. This advanced training focuses on formulation-level strategies for managing multi-substrate bonding challenges. Participants will learn how adhesive chemistry, modulus design, and interfacial interaction mechanisms influence stress distribution and long-term reliability. The session also examines surface preparation limits, primer strategies, and the role of functional adhesion promoters when bonding low-energy polymers, coated metals, or composite structures. Special attention is given to moisture, thermal cycling, and chemical exposure effects that commonly drive field failures. Rather than trial-and-error approaches, the training provides decision-based methods to align adhesive formulation, substrate properties, and service conditions to achieve durable, predictable performance across mixed material assemblies.

Why you should not miss the training?

If you work with multi-material assemblies, this training helps you design bonds that survive real service conditions, not just lab tests;

1. Prevent interfacial failure caused by surface energy mismatch: Learn formulation and surface strategies that ensure reliable wetting and adhesion.

2. Manage stress from CTE and modulus differences: Design adhesive flexibility and toughness to prevent fatigue and delamination.

3. Bond low-energy plastics and coated metals reliably: Understand when primers, treatments, or functional chemistries are truly required

4. Predict durability under thermal, moisture, and chemical exposure: Identify failure mechanisms early and design for long-term performance stability.

5. Make defensible material decisions across R&D and production: Align substrate selection, formulation design, and service requirements without costly trial cycles.

Who should attend this training?

This is a very useful industry recommended training for the adhesives and sealants industry professionals in particular;

        - R&D chemists, formulators, scientist, new product developers
        - Professionals from adhesives and related raw-materials area
        - OEM and brand owners
