***************************************************
e-Training Course: Prediction & Prevention of Environmental Stress Cracking
***************************************************

Join and improve your plastic parts ESC resistance by predicting failure occurrence,
analyzing its origin and implementing adequate prevention measures.

It will help you develop a pragmatic approach to ESC by linking cracking mechanisms and
affecting parameters (polymer chains, part design, secondary environment - adhesives,
coatings, inks...) to prevention methods.

When: Tuesday July 13, 2010 - 4 p.m. CET; 10 a.m. ET
