Plastic materials. Properties and behaviors during use and hot processing

Objectives:

• Introduction to plastics - familiarization with basic notions of classification, obtaining, types of plastics
• Familiarize the target audience with the main properties of plastics - chemical, physical and some methods of analysis
• Familiarize the target audience with the behavior of plastics during hot processing
• Familiarize the target audience with plastic release modes, factors that influence properties during processing and use
• Familiarize the target audience with how to investigate the release of plastics during use

At the end of this training, the students will have a better understanding of the plastics, how they behave in hot processing and how the material is disposed of during use. Also, this course will familiarize participants with the main steps to be taken to investigate material release, presenting and case studies for a better understanding of the process.

Target audience: Plastic injection machine operators, quality controllers, process and quality engineers, production bosses.
