Compounding World Congress 2016 | event preview
Compounders set to converge on Cologne
Compounding World magazine and Applied Market Information (AMI) are hosting the second Compounding World Congress in Cologne, Germany on 18-20 April 2016. Places are already selling fast with over 160 attendees and 37 exhibitors signed up at the time of writing. Focusing on the latest market and technology trends
for technical compounders, the conference will cover many of Compounding World magazine’s most popular themes in a live format. This will provide a rare opportunity to learn fi rst-hand about these important developments, as well as discussing them with key players from throughout the plastics supply chain. The packed conference programme features 26 expert
speakers, including senior managers from leading global compounders, as well as innovative raw materials suppliers and machinery manufacturers. Here we preview the presentations that are scheduled for the second day of conference sessions on Wednesday 20 April. The fi rst day of conference sessions was previewed in last month’s issue (read it in full at

resistance, reduce warpage and add reinforcement to plastics compounds. The next presentation will examine the role that
innovative coupling agents can play in enhancing the mechanical properties of thermoplastic composites. It will be delivered by Elisa Conte, technical development manager for polymer additives at AkzoNobel in the Netherlands. The company recently introduced a new maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene product for such applications. Shilpa Khare, research engineer at the Fraunhofer
Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliabil- ity in Germany, will conclude the session. Her paper will address ways to optimise the emissions behaviour of talc-fi lled polypropylene compounds, which is critical issue in a range of applications inlcuding automotive interiors.
