This 2 day course by Smithers and held in Shropshire is designed for professionals who already have a basic understanding of polyurethane chemistry and want to deepen their technical expertise. It is equally valuable for those experienced in polymer science who are new to polyurethane systems.
Participants will gain a comprehensive view of polyurethane constituents, formulations, and processing methods - exploring how to achieve optimum material properties and performance. The course bridges fundamental chemistry with applied formulation science, examining how processors create such a wide range of PU forms and functions.
Through expert-led sessions, you’ll explore polyurethane chemistry, structure–property relationships, and practical techniques for product optimisation. The course also introduces data-driven approaches such as Design of Experiments (DOE) to accelerate learning, improve formulation accuracy, and support innovation in R&D.
This is not a BASA training course and is a commercial course provided by Smithers.
