usage are also reviewed.
Course Title: ChE ELECTIVE 3B (PACKAGING MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS II)
Course Code: CH536
Credit Units: 3 units
Course Description: This course deals with plastics as packaging materials. The properties and uses
of the common packaging plastics are investigated, along with ways in which their properties can be
modified to broaden their range of performance and uses. Material properties are linked packaging
principles where performance properties required to meet the functions of packaging were derived.
Performance throughout all stages is considered, including packaging line (especially
material/machine interfaces), storage and distribution, display and sale, use and disposal by the
final consumer. Market uses and applications, along with the influencing factors which affect
current and future usage are also reviewed. Manufacturing processes for plastics materials and
components. Pack closures and the factors affecting seal integrity are also covered in this course,
along with adhesives and the typical materials used for labels.
