About the Book
Addcon World is the established additives, modifiers and compounding conference. Running for the last seven years the two day conference focused on the technical advances and issues facing the plastic additives and modifiers industry. This year's conference provided the best opportunity to hear the latest developments and discuss the future possibilities of the additives business. The papers presented discussed new developments in polyolefin and PVC stabilisers, flame retardants, impact modifiers, compatibilizers, pelletizing, masterbatches, biodegradable blown film, dispersants, fillers and coupling agents. They offer the facts about biocides, in-line compounding, and colour variable pigments. Delegates and speakers at Addcon were from all branches of the additives community, including industry, research institutes and universities; from Western and Eastern Europe, the USA, India and beyond.
