Description

In polymer manufacturing, rheology determines whether a formulation runs predictably or generates instability, defects, and productivity losses. This training focuses on how experienced formulators and process engineers can control melt flow, viscoelastic response, and shear sensitivity to achieve stable, high-efficiency processing across extrusion, coating, molding, and film operations. The session examines how molecular weight distribution, branching architecture, fillers, plasticizers, and rheology modifiers influence viscosity profiles, elasticity, and relaxation behavior under real processing conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on shear thinning behavior, extensional viscosity, melt strength, and temperature–shear interactions, and how these parameters affect pressure stability, die swell, coating uniformity, mold filling, and dimensional control. Participants will also learn to diagnose rheology-driven failure modes such as melt fracture, sharkskin, edge instability, sagging, poor leveling, die build-up, and flow imbalance. The training translates rheological data into practical formulation adjustments that balance processability, surface quality, throughput, and product performance, enabling faster scale-up, reduced trial-and-error, and more defensible material design decisions.

Why you should not miss the training?

Formulators should attend this online training because it provides a practical understanding of the fundamental principles of rheology and its direct relevance to their daily work for;

1. Turn rheology data into real processing decisions: Link viscosity and elasticity profiles to pressure stability, throughput limits, and flow behavior.

2. Eliminate flow-driven defects before production trials: Identify rheological causes of melt fracture, sharkskin, sagging, and surface instability.

3. Balance processability with mechanical and dimensional performance: Optimize molecular architecture, fillers, and modifiers without compromising end-use properties.

4. Design formulations for actual shear and thermal conditions: Match rheology behavior to extrusion, coating, film, and molding environments.

5. Reduce development cycles and scale-up surprises: Use rheology as a predictive tool instead of iterative troubleshooting.

Who should attend this training?

This is one of those technical trainings which is highly recommended for chemical industry professionals including: 

        - R&D chemist, formulators, chemical engineers
        - Product developers, scientists, technicians, lab managers
        - Specialist and professionals from coatings, polymers and related industries
