Polyolefin Performance 2014

23 - 24 September 2014, Philadelphia, United States

Introduction

This event focuses on the applications, markets and properties of polyolefin materials with emphasis on polyethylene and polypropylene thermoplastics. There are new resins and compounds in the marketplace that offer competitive advantages to manufacturers in industries from packaging to automotive and construction, both in terms of performance and economics. For example, a stronger polymer can be used in lower quantities leading to cost and weight savings. Safety factors come into play in food-contact and toys, while color and appearance are big issues for outdoor uses. What are the optimum formulations and additive combinations?
