AMI's next global conference on foam technology and applications in thermoplastics and elastomers, Polymer Foam 2016, will take place on April 5-6, 2016 at the Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel, NJ, USA, conveniently located at one of the key New York international airports, just 30 minutes by train to central NYC. The event includes a focused exhibition where 鈥媟efreshment breaks and an evening networking reception take place.
In the past few years 鈥媍oncern for the environment and improved performance/cost ratio, have driven foam 鈥媘arkets into new products and manufacturing innovation. From construction insulation, foamed pipe and profiles, flooring and furnishing through to light-weighting of automotive components and packaging reduction, foams are conquering more of the plastics processing marketplace adding reduced material use to cut costs and transportation by reduced weight. In addition foams offer impact performance, sound and thermal insulation, cushioning and other valuable properties. What equipment is best? Which materials are suitable? How controllable is the structure? What chemical blowing agent or physical foaming process is best? Can existing equipment be adapted for foaming? These are some of the hot topics at Polymer Foam 2016.
The conference program aims to 鈥媓ighlight valuable 鈥嬧�婻&D. Polymer Foam 2016 will give attendees the chance to 鈥媙etwork and discuss foam production technology and markets and applications of cellular polymer materials with some of the most influential professionals in the industry and in research.
