Ring of Fire: Problem Solving for High Temperature Film Processing

Presented by Joe Kotwis, Webineering

Solving film issues related to high temperature operations can seem complicated and unattainable. The list of problems include variations in adhesion, % solids, % moisture, thickness, mechanical properties, thermal expansion, color, isotropy (birefringence), contamination, curl, shrinkage, and flatness. Breaking the defect into its representative pattern and matching that pattern to temperature effects can make it more manageable and solvable.
