DESCRIPTION:<p>Surface contamination and inadequate surface preparation rem
 ain leading causes of adhesion failures\, product defects and costly recal
 ls across industries\, including automotive\, aerospace\, composites and m
 edical device manufacturing. Yet many organizations continue to rely on su
 bjective inspection methods rather than measurable surface quality data. T
 his webinar explores how manufacturers can establish objective cleanliness
  standards\, implement surface energy measurement techniques and monitor c
 ontamination throughout the product lifecycle to improve adhesion reliabil
 ity\, manufacturing quality and first-pass yield.<br />\n<br />\nAttendees
  will learn why developing a formal adhesion specification &mdash\; and en
 forcing it consistently from initial process development through full-scal
 e production and sustainment &mdash\; is critical to reducing failures and
  improving manufacturing outcomes. The session will explore the latest AST
 M standards supporting adhesion testing\, surface cleanliness verification
  and quality assurance\, while sharing real-world examples of companies th
 at have successfully implemented adhesion monitoring programs to drive mea
 surable improvements in reliability and yield.<br />\n<br />\nParticipants
  will also have the opportunity to assess the maturity of their own surfac
 e energy management practices\, benchmarking current processes against ind
 ustry best practices. The webinar will conclude with a look at how Brighto
 n Science's surface intelligence tools\, including water contact angle (WC
 A) measurement and the Brighton Process Monitor\, enable objective\, repea
 table surface energy analysis that supports faster troubleshooting\, stron
 ger first-pass yield and long-term quality control.<br />\n<br />\nThis we
 binar is designed for manufacturing engineers\, quality professionals\, pr
 ocess development teams and operations leaders responsible for adhesion re
 liability\, surface quality and manufacturing performance across the produ
 ct lifecycle.</p>\n\n<h3>Agenda</h3>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<ul>\n	<li>Why surface
