helping to shape the future of the industry. He will be followed by Thomas Hülsmann, Managing Director of the AGPU Working Group PVC and Environment in Germany, who will review progress in the PVC industry over the same period and assess what needs to be done over the coming years to move it forward. The third presentation in the opening session of the conference will focus on an example where PVC is being used to improve safety in the medical and food industries. Christoph Zell, Product Manager Trovidur at Röchling Engineering Plastics in Germany, will detail the development of an antibacterial and scratch-resistant wall covering.
Plasticiser advances The second session will be opened by Dr Hinnerk Gordon Becker, Head of Market Segment Plasticis- ers, Performance Intermediates at Evonik Perfor- mance Materials in Germany, who will explore the outlook for PVC plasticisers, assessing the regula- tory and economic challenges as well as discussing innovative products for the future. He will be followed by Rogério Marques, Technical Service Manager at CIRES / Shin-Etsu Group in Portugal, who will present the latest understanding of plasticiser absorption in PVC resins. Anders Magnusson, Technical Market Develop- ment Manager at Perstorp in Sweden, will explain how to optimise flexible PVC formulations based on polyol ester plasticisers. Then Dr Nikola Kocić, Scientific Employee at SKZ - KFE in Germany, will discuss the development of bio-based plasticisers for use as an alternative to DINP.
Ensuring stability The conference will then move on to discuss ways to ensure the long-term stability of rigid and flexible PVC compounds. Dr Peter Frenkel, Vice President of Technology at Galata Chemicals in
Germany, will look at present and future status of octyl tin stabilisers. He will be followed by Dr Axel Grimm, Technical Marketing Manager Plasticisers at BASF in Germany, who will review improvements in long-term stabilisation of plasticised PVC. The final session of the first day of the confer- ence will be opened by Kate Irvin, R&D Lab Manager at Mexichem Speciality Compounds (formerly Vinyl Compounds) in the UK, who will explain her work to create a predictive model for PVC formulations using spectroscopic techniques. She will be followed by Dr Kálmán Marossy, a Professor at the University of Miskolc/Borsod- chem in Hungary, who will look at testing of different formulations of polymer-modified plasticised PVC. The final paper of the day will be given by Dr Harald Braun, Technical Director at Kaneka in Belgium, who will detail testing of a new polymeric acrylic plasticiser for PVC, comparing its performance to existing options.
Adding value to PVC Day Two of PVC Formulation 2018 focuses on enhancing the performance and processing of PVC compounds. It will be opened by Karine Cavalier, Global Business Unit Research and Innovation Manager at Solvay in Belgium, who will deliver a presentation looking at the use of a new generation of blowing agents for efficient and sustainable foaming of PVC polymers. She will be followed by Dr Francis Loncar, Senior Product Development Specialist at 3M in the US, who discuss the addition of pigments to durable vinyl films. Then Dr Peter Loggenberg, President at Trecora Chemical in the US, will detail some developments and new applica- tions for internal and external lubricants in PVC.
