COMPOUNDING & PROCESSING 2012
Polyolefin Performance 2014
September 23-24, 2014 Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, USA
AMI is pleased to announce the first North American edition of Polyolefin Performance, taking place September 23-24, 2014 at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue, in Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Polyolefins are one of the most ubiquitous polymers used worldwide in a wide range of applications from pipes and roofing membranes in construction to feather-light films for packaging sensitive products. They are also widely used in the automotive industry where light-weighting needs to be combined with durability and sustainability.
Polyolefin Performance 2014 brings together a forum of global experts in polyolefin markets and compounding technology to examine the latest additives and recipes, research studies and market developments. The conference will kick off with a paper examining the effects of the shale gas boom in North America on the competitiveness of US plastics converters.
Join AMI and a top speaker line-up at Polyolefin Performance 2014.
