COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Polyolefins Advanced Plastics Processing & Specialties Applications. It covers the polyolefins covering its definition and classification, historical development and global, polyethylene (PE) versus polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic characteristics; the polymerization techniques, physical and mechanical properties, polyolefin additives and stabilizers and polyolefin testing and characterization techniques; and the polyethylene grades and uses, film extrusion technology, pipeand profile extrusion, blow molding applications with PE and rotational molding of PE. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the PE welding and joining techniques and polypropylene grades and characteristics, injection molding of PP, thermoforming and sheet extrusion and fiber and filament production; the biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), PP compounding and specialty blends, polyolefins in automotive applications and medical and healthcare applications; the polyolefins in consumer and industrial goods, recycling and sustainability of polyolefins, processing troubleshooting and defect analysis and quality control and process optimization; the innovations in polyolefin catalysis and design, polyolefins in packaging applications and advanced polyolefins in infrastructure; and the market strategy and product positioning.
