Masterclass | Polymer Processing & Extrusion

Sustainability is reshaping the polymer industry. As manufacturers increasingly incorporate recycled materials into their products, maintaining consistent quality and process stability becomes more challenging than ever.

With the recent implementation of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), reliable polymer characterization and optimized processing have become essential for ensuring product quality, improving recyclability, and meeting future regulatory requirements.

Join us on October 14 & 15 at Anton Paar Belgium in Gentbrugge for our Masterclass Polymers, and discover how advanced analytical technologies can help you tackle these challenges with confidence.

Over two inspiring days, our application specialists and guest speakers will share practical insights, demonstrate the latest technologies, and show how material characterization and process optimization go hand in hand.

Attend one or both days, each day has its own dedicated focus and can be attended independently.

Participation is free, but places are limited.
Register today for one or both days and choose the sessions that best match your interests.
As a participant, you will also receive our free e-book on polymer processing.

Lunch and refreshments are included throughout both days.
Please let us know in advance if you have any dietary requirements or allergies.

Day 1: Polymer Characterization

A thorough understanding of your material is the foundation of every successful production process.

Discover how modern analytical techniques such as DSC, viscosity, rheology, particle characterization, and solid density measurements provide valuable insights into material behaviour, consistency, and performance.

We'll also explore one of today's hottest topics: the characterization of recycled polymers. Learn how viscosity measurements can help evaluate recycled materials and support manufacturers in meeting the growing sustainability demands driven by the new PPWR legislation.

Throughout the day you'll experience expert presentations, live demonstrations and laboratory tours. Hannes Van Avermaet from Nichino will share first-hand experience on how Anton Paar's analytical solutions support material characterization and quality control in daily practice.

You're welcome to bring your own samples. Following the demonstrations, our application specialists can perform measurements and discuss the results with you.

Day 1: Polymer Characterization + Day 2: Polymer Processing
Sebastien Bovri, Laurens Verschave (Language: English)
Day 2: Polymer Processing

The second day focuses on how analytical technologies support every stage of polymer processing, from material identification with FTIR and Raman spectroscopy to mixing, extrusion, and microwave digestion. 
Turn material insights into better processing and discover how these techniques contribute to improved process control, faster quality decisions, and more efficient production.

A dedicated Raman application specialist will also be present throughout the day, sharing expert knowledge and practical insights into polymer identification and characterization using Raman spectroscopy.

You're welcome to bring your own samples. Following the demonstrations, our application specialists can perform measurements and discuss the results with you.

Participants receive our free e-book on polymer processing.
