Online MasterClass Styrene Block Copolymers (SBCs) in Adhesive Applications
Madrid, Spain, February 2023. The MasterClass “Styrene Block Copolymers (SBCs) in Adhesive Application” given online by Dr. Walter Ramirez (Innventik) through Technobiz Professional Education, will allow you to have a deep understanding of the fundamental science behind adhesive mechanisms, the interactions of the ingredients, to optimize formulations, to make better decisions in your day-to-day work, linking your formulation issues with their root causes, for SBCs Hot Melt and Solvent Based Adhesives.
This Masterclass is addressed to professionals who are willing to increase their knowledge of SBCs in Hot Melts and in Solvent Based Adhesives. I will cover the fundamental science of adhesion for SBCs, the characterization methods, the types, and roles of the ingredients to optimize performance, the main requirements for specific applications, the formulation basics with multiple reference applications, and an overview of the future trends and drivers in SBCs.
