Description

Surface wettability is the primary control point for coating adhesion, yet many coating failures originate from poor surface energy matching rather than formulation chemistry. This advanced training focuses on practical strategies to diagnose and control wettability across metals, plastics, composites, and low-energy substrates. The session covers contact angle interpretation, surface energy analysis, polar–dispersive matching, and formulation adjustments required to achieve reliable wetting. Special emphasis is placed on challenging substrates such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and engineered plastics, where conventional coatings fail due to inadequate surface activation. Participants will learn how to integrate surface preparation methods including cleaning, plasma, corona, and chemical treatments, and how to select adhesion promoters and additives based on interfacial requirements. The training also connects wettability measurements to real performance risks such as delamination, crater formation, and poor long-term durability. Designed for experienced formulators, this program provides decision frameworks to align surface condition, coating formulation, and process parameters for consistent adhesion and reduced field failures.

Why you should not miss the training?

This training is your game-changer for solving surface challenges and getting better results, faster. Here’s why it’s a must-attend;

1. Solve adhesion failures at the root, not after delamination: Learn to identify surface energy mismatch before formulation changes or production trials.

2. Design coatings for low-energy plastics and difficult substrates: Control wetting behavior on PP, PE, composites, and contaminated surfaces.

3. Translate contact angle data into formulation decisions: Use surface energy and polar–dispersive analysis to guide resin and additive selection.

4. Select the right surface treatment for performance and cost: Compare plasma, corona, flame, and chemical activation based on durability requirements.

5. Prevent field failures caused by contamination and process variation: Understand how storage, handling, and surface aging affect long-term adhesion.

Who should attend this training?

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

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