Here you can take what you learned from the morning, roll up your sleeves and get to work in a fully supported, hands-on workshop setting to really make it stick. <h3>Who should attend?</h3>Technologists, analysts, scientists and other hands-on users of surface analysis and preparation technologies in the automotive, aerospace, defense, paint, coatings, composite and plastics industries.

<h3>Day 1 </h3>Morning education session: Introduction to adhesionDr. Kash Mittal, a global expert in adhesion research, will kick off day one with an introduction to adhesion and a comprehensive analysis of what is required to achieve optimal bonding with a variety of materials in a range of industries. You will then be presented with a complete overview and demonstration of <a href="http://www.kruss-scientific.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">KRÜSS </a>solutions, including the instruments, techniques and software needed to perform surface characterization. Afternoon workshop: Make it stick!Apply what you learned in the morning session at a series of workstations outfitted with <a href="http://www.kruss-scientific.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">KRÜSS</a> solutions. This hands-on opportunity will make your knowledge stick as you practice techniques for surface characterization to study, predict and improve adhesion.

<h3>Day 2 </h3>Morning education session: Surface cleaningLearn how surface cleaning technology can be used to prepare materials for welding, painting, coating and achieving better adhesion. Our <a href="http://www.kruss-scientific.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">KRÜSS</a> experts will discuss how our solutions can be used to characterize surfaces, both before and after cleaning. <a href="https://adapt-laser.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Adapt Laser</a> will provide a comprehensive look at laser cleaning as a chemical-free and efficient method to remove contaminants, previous coating or get to the base material of your product. <a href="https://www.coldjet.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cold Jet</a> will talk about how dry ice blasting can be used to remove contaminants from plastic, metal and steel in preparation for painting and coatings. Afternoon workshop: Make it stick!Get your hands dirty while cleaning surfaces. Bring your own materials to clean and characterize pre- and post-treatment, or use common substrates provided by <a href="http://www.kruss-scientific.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">KRÜSS</a>. Evening: Social outing and dinnerLove golf? Or have you never played before?
