Spotlight on: Coatings - Purpose and Performance

This new, live webinar in our “Spotlight On” series, consists of 2 sessions of instruction and will provide an in-depth exploration of the purpose of surface treatments that are applied to glass containers. It will demonstrate the protection provided and indicate how the coatings ensure satisfactory container performance.

Topics covered include the general aspects related to the application and function of the hot end and cold end coatings. An introduction to the instruments and test methods used to evaluate the quality of surface treatments will also be presented. Participants will also become familiar with the practical aspects of interpreting coating measurements through the use of case studies.

The two 1+ hour sessions will be conducted by AGR Research Scientist Doug Holscher who holds a BS in Chemistry from Shippensburg University.

This is a currently a recording of a live webinar which can be replayed at your convenience. The cost is $375 per person. Group discounts are available.
