Research and Markets: Two Day Polymer Compounding Innovations Conference (Newark, New Jersey – 8-9 June, 2016)

DUBLIN

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3fhvqp/polymer) has announced the addition of the “Polymer Compounding Innovations (Newark, New Jersey – 8-9 June, 2016)” conference to their offering.

Functional additives are key enablers in polymer formulations; they drive the performance and processing characteristics of polymeric compositions that are clearly not in line with their proportion in the formulation.

Since there are often multiple additives serving a desired function, molders / converters find it more convenient to use a Masterbatch / Concentrate rather than dealing with minor components. As a result, compounders are uniquely placed in the plastics industry value-chain to continue delivering innovations to the industry. The theme for this year’s 2-day conference on Polymer Compounding for Sustained Innovations in the Plastics Industry is to bring the participants up to speed on the newest trends and technical advances in developing & offering differentiated products to the marketplace.
