Read MorePrecision Tools for Error Reduction
Human error is known to be the primary cause of quality and production losses in many industries. Although human error is unlikely to ever be eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human errors start at the design stage. From procedures, training, and workplace environment, many variables that affect human behavior CAN be managed,… Continue reading Precision Tools for Error Reduction
Read MoreSurfactants: Chemistry, Theory,and Application
The high surface tension of water presents challenges to a formulator who attempts to develop products that will properly wet surfaces, disperse pigments, emulsify key components, or even generate or destabilize foam. This accredited course on surfactants (chemistry, theory, mechanism, and application) initially reviews the various types and chemical structures of commercially available surfactants. An… Continue reading Surfactants: Chemistry, Theory,and Application
Read MoreRheology: Chemistry, Theory, and Application
We must understand how materials are affected, by their flow behavior, as a result of applied stress forces. This knowledge will allow a formulator to develop products with the best possible outcome considering production, storage, packaging, and application. This intensive, accredited training course on rheology (chemistry, theory, mechanism, and application) reviews the basic principles of… Continue reading Rheology: Chemistry, Theory, and Application
