This course is ideal if you are working in the PVC industry and need to increase your knowledge of PVC. It has been designed specifically for industrialists and is particularly aimed at people working in process development/support; QA; product development and technical service.

The course covers the complete range of PVC technology from its polymerisation through to its many and varied applications. It uniquely focuses on the interface between theory and application showing how you can relate key fundamentals to the processing of PVC and the performance of PVC products. In this way you and your company will benefit from being able to:

• Choose resin type in order to optimise performance

• Conclude how formulation and processing conditions influence the gelation and properties of PVC

• Correlate material characteristics with mechanical properties

• Understand how mechanical properties influence product performance

• Participate more fully in your development projects

• Confidently discuss and identify requirements with suppliers, customers and workplace colleagues

• Understand the position of PVC in the market place and the environment

Throughout the week you will have ample opportunity to clarify these issues and your specific interests in one-to-one free-time discussions with the lecturers. Our main aim is to give you the knowledge, understanding and confidence that you need to develop your role within your company.
