Course Description

Meet your yield strength, processability, cost…targets without adding additives or fillers in excess in your filled plastics (i.e. avoid extra cost and cascading issues).

How? Make sure your dispersing & coupling agents deliver their best.

Chris DeArmitt will show you how to best leverage each chemistry’s action on the surface of fillers and how to efficiently screen your additives for optimal filler / polymer compatibility.

Why should you view this course?

Often, to compensate for poor-performing filled plastics (insufficient yield strength, low processability, etc.), one tends to increase loadings or add new additives, which only brings in complexity and wastes more time...Avoid this by better selecting & using dispersing & coupling agents. Join this course and:

  1. Save time & cost when selecting the type and loading of dispersing/coupling agents (titanates, maleated polymers, etc.) by applying Chris DeArmitt’s screening method.

  2. Achieve proper dispersion & adhesion between the polymer and the filler (and meet your end performance targets!) by optimizing how your dispersing/coupling agents operate at the filler surface.

  3. Minimize unwanted interactions between dispersing/coupling agents and other additives by recognizing the causes and preventing them.

Who should join this course?

  • Formulators, Compounders, & Additive Suppliers who wish to discover how dispersing and coupling agents can improve productivity, properties, and the appearance of the final product.

  • This course is suitable for intermediate level proficiency
