Making more of polypropylene
New additive and filler technologies are further extending the versatility of polypropylene and will come under the spotlight at AMI’s first Performance Polypropylene conference in Cologne in April
Few polymers offer the versatility of polypropylene – it is easy to process and displays a good combi- nation of base properties. It also lends itself to modification, allowing its performance to be optimised for a broad and growing range of engineered applications in industries as varied as automotive, appliance and construction. AMI’s first Performance Polypropylene conference focuses on the reinforcements, fillers, additives and chemis- tries that are enabling PP to take on ever more demanding roles. Taking place in Cologne in Germany on 11-12 April 2018, Performance Polypropylene 2018 will bring together expert speakers from leading PP resin and additive suppliers, compounders and brand owners to debate the latest innovations in PP
