Dr. Hartwig Lohse has more than 25 years of experience in the adhesive business. He has in-depth knowledge of structural adhesives (polyurethane and epoxy) as well as pressure-sensitive adhesives (acrylics) and the processes in which these adhesives are used.

Dr. Lohse worked for 9 years at Tivoli Werke AG, focusing on the development of structural and semi-structural adhesives and providing technical service, especially for automotive applications. In 1996, he became the European Technical Manager at Ashland, where he worked for 12 years.

In 2009, Dr. Lohse founded KLEBTECHNIK Dr. Hartwig Lohse e.K., a company providing independent adhesive bonding-related consultancy services to companies across the adhesive supply chain.

Dr. Lohse is also the Chairman of the Technical Working Group on Structural Bonding and a member of the Technical Committee of the German Adhesives Manufacturers’ Association (IVK) since 2002. He has been a member of the Committee for Adhesive Technology at the German Institute for Standardization (DIN) and Chairman of the Subcommittee for Bonding of FRP Materials since 2012. Additionally, Dr. Lohse has served as an examiner for workforce qualification courses under DVS-PersZert® guidelines (European Adhesive Bonder, European Adhesive Specialist, European Adhesive Engineer) since 2012.

Course Outline

The following sections will be covered during the Part 1 and Part 2 sessions.

Introduction

Details to be Considered During Development of an Epoxide Adhesive

Epoxy Adhesives Chemistry and Their Areas of Application

  • Polyaddition (2-part adhesives, ambient cure, 1-part heat curing adhesives)
  • Cationic UV-curing epoxy adhesives

Raw materials and their effect on the adhesive (structure-property relationship)

  • Epoxy Resin Chemistry
  • Epoxy Curing Agents (amines, polyamides, mercaptans, dicyandiamide, anhydrides, UV-cure initiators…)
  • Solvents and Dilutents

...to be continued in Part 1

Improvement in Flexibility / Toughening Agents

Fillers and Extenders

Adhesion Promoters

Processing Aids

Case Studies: How to design your epoxy adhesive formulations, starting with your list of requirements with 2 cases:

  • Low viscosity epoxy adhesive for concrete crack repair
  • Epoxy for automotive collision repair

Hints and tips from personal experience as an epoxy adhesive formulator – Ask your questions directly to the expert in the Q&A sessions (30 mins each in both parts)
