Description

Water-based polyurethane (WPU) systems are widely used in coatings, adhesives, inks, and textile applications, driven by low VOC requirements and growing sustainability demands. However, achieving consistent performance in water-based systems is far more complex than replacing solvent with water. Many issues such as poor dispersion stability, foam formation, low film strength, slow drying, blocking, or inconsistent appearance arise from improper control of polymer structure, emulsification, and formulation balance. This advanced training focuses on water-based polyurethane formulation and performance optimization for real industrial applications. You will gain a clear understanding of how polyol chemistry, isocyanate selection, internal and external emulsifiers, particle size control, neutralization, and additives influence dispersion stability, viscosity behavior, film formation, and long-term durability. The training explains why laboratory-stable systems fail during storage or scale-up and how processing conditions affect stability, coalescence, and final properties. Practical guidance is provided for troubleshooting issues such as sedimentation, coagulation, foam, poor adhesion, and mechanical weakness. Designed for experienced formulators and technical professionals, this training helps you build robust, scalable water-based polyurethane systems that meet performance, regulatory, and sustainability requirements..

Why you should not miss the training?

This highly recommended training is designed for professionals responsible for formulation performance, not just development. 

1. Understand why WPU systems lose stability over time: Identify root causes of coagulation, sedimentation, viscosity drift, and storage failure.

2. Control dispersion design and particle stability: Optimize emulsifiers, neutralization, and processing for long-term system robustness.

3. Improve film performance and durability: Balance hardness, flexibility, adhesion, blocking resistance, and chemical resistance.

4. Avoid scale-up and production issues: Learn how lab formulations behave differently during manufacturing and storage.

5. Make confident formulation decisions: Develop a structured approach to troubleshooting and performance optimization. 

Who should attend this training?

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

    - R&D chemists, formulators, Engineers, Q&A
    - Technical managers, Lab managers
    - Product development teams and R&D managers
