DMA in Practice: Fine-tune PSA formulations effectively

A 90-min online short course by Derek Bamborough
DMA in Practice: Fine-tune PSA formulations effectively
Develop faster optimized pressure sensitive adhesives (solvent & water-based adhesives, hot melts & radiation-cured) with an advanced use of Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA).

Benefit from Derek Bamborough's extensive experience in DMA (+20 years) to support your material selection, PSA formulation optimization and performance adjustment. A prior course dealing with all types of adhesive will be held on November 6.
Course Type Formulation - Level Advanced
Why you should attend
  1. Select faster optimal raw materials (polymers, tackifiers, plasticizers & other additives) and better control interactions in your PSA formulations
  2. Optimize and better predict performance of your PSA by making the most out of DMA: analysis type; temperature, frequency or both
  3. Meet various application requirements faster by reviewing real-life DMA finger-prints of PSA tapes, labels, hygiene, protection, assembly...
Who is it for?
Adhesives professionals who are looking for advanced techniques to optimize their pressure sensitive formulations & predict PSA performances


The following sections will be covered during this session:

  1. Introduction

  2. - Basic Principles of DMA
    - DMA Language & Interpretation for PSA
    - DMA "Fingerprints"
    - PSA Base-polymer characterisation

  3. Formulation Consideration

  4. - Addition of Tackifier Resins to Adhesive Base Polymers
    - Influence of Tackifier Resin Type on Compatibility with Polymers
    - Compatibility as a Performance Indicator
    - What this means to adhesive performance

  5. Predict & Optimise Your Application Properties using DMA

  6. - Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
    - Water-based Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
    - Solvent-based Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
    - Radiation curable PSA
    - Identify DMA parameters to help you decide which type for which application

At the end of the training there will be a Q&A Session where you can pose questions to Derek Bamborough.

A transcript of all the questions and answers will be made available after the event.

Jennifer A. , from Johnson & Johnson:
"Excellent course! I've learnt how to use to predict PSA performance."

Ed E. , from Promerus LLC:
"Provided a good understanding of using DMA measurements for the design of adhesives."

Aylin M. , from Tesa SE:
"Very good speaker! He gave us another point of view to interpret a tan delta curve."

Widely used to describe PSA patented products, DMA is a powerful tool to characterize materials and predict adhesives performance. Though being one of the most commonly used self-adhesive products, PSA formulations remain the least understood. Mastering DMA can not only enable to improve quality control but also shorten your PSA development time.

Recognized expert Derek Bamborough will explain you the principles of DMA and link them to PSA performance and interactions occurring in the formulation. From raw material selection to formulation optimization, you will be able to use DMA as an advanced technique to develop PSA to meet or exceed your requirements.
