PROPERTIES, ANALYSIS & TESTING
Chemistry and Technology of
Polyurethane Elastomers
4 hours or 8 hours
CEUs: .4 or .8
The course focuses on the fundamentals of elastomeric
polyurethanes such as those used in coatings adhesives,
sealants or elastomers (“CASE”). The course includes
identifi cation of major raw materials, an introduction to polymer
chemistry and chemical structure-property relationships in
elastomeric polyurethanes. Testing and analysis techniques,
typical formulary and key processing methods are discussed in the
context key markets such as medical device, oil fi eld, materials
handling, architectural, and materials handling applications.
Those Who Should Attend:
Product engineers, managers, quality professionals and Jr. or
Sr. level chemists. Suggested pre-requisites include general
technical aptitude and general familiarity of technical terminology
related to chemistry and rubber or plastic materials.
Course Outline:
1. Introduction: CASE market overview
2. Polymer and functional group chemistry of polyurethanes
3. Structure-property relationships and key raw materials
4. Testing and analytical methods
5. Processing Methods
6. Case examples of typical polyurethane formulary.
Introduction to Dispersions
4 hours
CEUs: .4
This course will start with a detailed explanation about how
dispersion is accomplished in rubber, including both liquids and
solids. Next, each type of dispersion will be studied, including
the common carriers and their capabilities. When discussing the
polymer bound dispersion, several polymer types and combination
will be examined. Finally, each type of dispersion will be explored
as to their benefi ts and limitations.
