Problems caused by corrosion can be both costly and time consuming to resolve satisfactorily.
Chemical attack is an issue that can affect many industries including petrochemicals, gas transport and electric power generation, offshore pipework, desalination, paper and steel mills, cooling towers, waste treatment, food and drink, medical industry, metal finishing, automotive industry, marine sector, and construction.
Polymers can resist some of the chemicals that are most damaging in these environments.
Papers to be presented at the 2004 conference include practical papers from Sermatech, Sauereisen and Corrocoat, and research papers from Solvay and Asahi Glass (which makes fluoropolymers).
DSM, EVAL and Dow Corning will discuss thermosets, ethylene-vinyl alcohol and silicones.
Other papers include nanocomposites from Israel, novel coatings from the US Navy in California, polyamides from Iran and Nirex's ideas about using polymers for nuclear waste containment.
Also reviewed, will be the chemical resistance of reinforced plastics, including sudden failure by the Swedish Corrosion Institute.
Corporate sponsorship opportunities are available with this popular conference.
Companies can sponsor individual events such as dinners and receptions or can sponsor individual items such as pens and notepads.
