Graphic papers, packaging papers, hygiene papers and special papers are the relevant main types of paper that we use every day and which all go through a fundamentally similar manufacturing process.

“What raw materials are used for paper production?”, “How does a paper machine work?”, “How is waste paper integrated in the production process?” and “How is cellulose surface-coated paper?”, these questions and many more will be answered in the seminar “Introduction to paper production” from October 19 to October 23, 2020 in Dresden.

The four-day seminar is divided into 4 topic modules to give a holistic overview:

• Module 1: Pulp raw materials of the paper industry, pulp production and processing (October 19 & October 20, 2020):
  Modul 1 – Registration & Information
• Module 2: Quality control and paper machine (October 20 & October 21, 2020):
  Modul 2 – Registration & Informationen
• Module 3: Effect and optimal use of chemical additives (October 21 & October 22, 2020):
  Modul 3 – Registration & Informationen
• Module 4: coating technology – from dispersion to finished coating (10/22 & 10/23/2020):
  Modul 4 – Registration & Informationen

Specialists who have now become part of the paper producing or converting industry, those interested in the subject of “paper” and experts from the “paper supply chain” get a compact and detailed overview of the entire process of paper production!

Knowledge of adhesive systems and their specific properties bring the often decisive added value for efficient production and process design, avoiding complaints and quality assurance measures. The course on June 17 and 18, 2020 in Heidenau (Paper Technology Foundation, Heidenau) provides theoretical foundations on materials and how adhesives work. The most important adhesive systems and their specific properties are presented. It also involves the detection of problematic adhesive surfaces, typical errors in the adhesive process and taking the right measures to ensure quality. Current adhesive research and the increasing replacement of crude oil-based substances with organic raw materials are also an issue.

Experts from practice and science report on the following content:

• Gluing – Theories & Conclusions for Practice
• Surface tension – term & measurement method for laboratory & field
• Preparation of adhesive surfaces with corona, plasma & flame – modes of action & recommendations for use
• Dispersion adhesives – production, mode of action, development trends, selection criteria
