Compounding World Expo: free conferences unveiled
The full speaker line-ups have been revealed for the two free-to-attend confer- ence theatres at the Com- pounding World Expo. The event is being organised by AMI and Compounding World magazine at Messe Essen in Germany on 27-28 June 2018. The two theatres will host a series of training seminars, business debates and technical presentations throughout the two days. The opening keynote
address on the first day of the exhibition will be given by Andrew Reynolds, a founder of AMI and director of Advance Bidco, the owner of AMI. He will set the scene with a paper analys- ing global trends in plastics compounding markets. On the following day, the opening keynote will be delivered by Chris Smith, the editor of Compounding World. He will highlight five compounding innovations to watch. Across the two days of the
conference there will be four business debates addressing the future of technical compounds, masterbatch, PVC compounds, and polyolefin compounds. These will feature influential business leaders from some of the world’s biggest compounders and master- batch makers, such as A Schulman, Ampacet, Clariant, Kingfa, PolyOne and Washington Penn. There will also be six
practical training seminars covering topics such as:

specifying and scaling up twin-screw extruders; computer modelling of the compounding process; optimising screw configura- tions; complying with REACH 2018 chemicals legislation; and understand- ing the psychology of colour. In between the business
debates and training seminars, there will be a series of presentations covering key business issues and technology develop- ments.
Business issues to be
explored include: the impact of REACH and the threat to raw materials availability; opportunities and innovations in cable compounds: and market trends in Russia’s com- pounding sector. These topics will be covered by representatives from the
European Masterbatchers and Compounders associa- tion, the Portuguese compounder Automotive Compounding Industry, and R&P Polyplastic, a leading Russian compounder. The Compounding World Expo will also feature presentations on develop- ments in polymers, additives and compounds. These will examine topics such as electrically and thermally conductive compounds; flame retardants; compatibi- lisation; friction modification; nanocomposites; carrier resins; cross-linking agents; functional fillers; thermoplas- tic elastomers; and high- temperature polyamides. Talks will be delivered by technical experts from companies including Borealis, Europiren, Falcone, Georg H Luh, HPF, Interface
Polymers, Polyscope, Unipetrol, and Ziegler. Process optimisation for compounders will also feature, with presentations on the latest technologies and techniques for maximis- ing filler loadings, raising product quality, increasing throughput, improving pelletising, and exploiting reactive extrusion. These topics will be covered by speakers from Aimplas, Coperion, Dynsico, Maag, Maris, Sikora and X-Com- pound.
At the end of the first day
of the expo, there will be an opportunity to relax when one of the conference theatres will show the World Cup match between Germany and Korea on the big screen, starting at 16:00. This will be followed by a networking party for visitors and exhibitors in Messe Essen’s beer garden. Register for your free
