Wednesday, May 22, 2024
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (EDT)

You will receive an email with a link to the GoToWebinar form once your registration is processed

Event Details

Abstract:

This webinar will allow participants to gain up-to-date knowledge in how to design adhesives and sealants systems with a long shelf life to complete uniform distribution within substrates and subsequent assembly operations, while having rapid cure kinetics following a cure trigger event without compromising rheological properties, ultimate bond strength, mechanical properties and chemical resistance. The advanced technologies for curing will be presented supported by literature and patent references.  

Objectives: 

  1. Attendees will learn about advanced cure technologies
  2. Comparison of alternate energy sources for curing
  3. Photolatent and blocked catalysts; encapsulation approaches
  4. Methods to reduce assembly cost and improve productivity

Agenda:

  1. Advanced technologies for cure on demand adhesives and sealants
  2. Pros and cons of alternate energy sources for curing
  3. Photolatent catalysts
  4. Blocked catalyst/encapsulation approaches
  5. Frontal Polymerization
  6. Assembly cost reduction and productivity improvement 

Who Should Attend:

Professionals in technical and business roles will equally benefit from this webinar. Technology managers, R&D scientists, chemists, technical service and process engineering professionals will gain an in depth knowledge of cure mechanisms and methods.
