Description

Modern polymer failures rarely originate from formulation chemistry alone; most emerge during thermal processing where degradation, oxidation, and structural changes alter performance before the product reaches the customer. This advanced training focuses on how thermal history during compounding, extrusion, molding, and curing affects molecular structure, stability, and long-term properties. The session integrates DSC, TGA, DMA, and FTIR as decision tools rather than laboratory techniques. Participants learn how to interpret thermal transitions, weight-loss behavior, oxidative stability, viscoelastic changes, and chemical degradation signatures to diagnose processing-induced failures. Particular emphasis is placed on identifying early degradation, crosslinking, chain scission, additive depletion, and residual stress effects that often remain undetected during routine quality checks. The training connects analytical results to real manufacturing risks such as processing window collapse, color drift, brittleness, warpage, odor generation, and premature field failure. Strategies are provided to correlate thermal data with processing conditions, residence time, shear exposure, and material selection decisions. By combining multiple analytical techniques into a structured diagnostic workflow, formulators can move from reactive troubleshooting to predictive thermal stability control, reducing rework, scrap, and costly scale-up surprises.

Why you should not miss this training?

If you’re ready to stop struggling and start excelling in polymer development, this training is your game changer. Don’t miss out;

1. Detect degradation before mechanical or visual failures appear: Use thermal analytics to identify early oxidation, chain scission, and additive loss.

2. Translate DSC, TGA, DMA, and FTIR into processing decisions: Move from data interpretation to actionable temperature, residence, and stability limits.

3. Prevent scale-up surprises linked to thermal history sensitivity: Understand how lab-stable materials fail under real shear and residence conditions.

4. Identify root causes behind brittleness, discoloration, and odor issues: Link thermal damage mechanisms to field complaints and production instability.

5. Build a predictive thermal stability framework for new formulations: Define safe processing windows instead of relying on trial-and-error adjustments.

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, new product developers
    - Technical service managers, lab managers, product managers
    - People that function in the materials development areas
