KRÜSS SCIENTIFIC

A Practical Master Class on the Essentials of Coating, Printing and Bonding

KRÜSS GmbH

<p>Due to the  ever-increasing demand for robust, single-serve, functional and attractive solutions, the packaging industry has grown by around 100% in the last 10 years. At the same time, it has never been more important for converters to offer increasingly innovative solutions in terms of design, functionality and the range of materials used. In particular, the coming ‘green revolution’ brings significant challenges for design and production, especially when incorporating materials such as rPET or bio-polymers.</p><p>Various types of coatings, including adhesives and inks, play a key role in the process of packaging optimization. For all forms of coating, it is essential to understand and match the surface properties of the base material with the properties of the coating being applied, i.e. wettability, drop spreading, dye uptake, short/long-term adhesion, appearance, print quality. In addition to reviewing the science behind coating, printing, and bonding in packaging, in this seminar we take a practical approach to surface testing, exploring some of the basic tools available and how they can be incorporated into everyday processes in both production and development.
