Testing role expands for Rapra
Rapra Technology's Richard Walton provides an update on what Rapra's industrial clients are most looking for in taking their new product ideas to market.
Polymers can resist some of the chemicals that are most damaging to metals, although they may be susceptible to stress cracking as a result of the combination of stress and chemicals.
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 novel coatings from the US Navy in California 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.
Places at PACE 2004 retail at Eur 850 before 6th August 2004 and Eur 1050 thereafter (both plus VAT).
