5th Specialty Elastomer / TPEs

TPEs are gaining more acceptance amongst processors as a material of choice. Intelligent design trends and performance capabilities have helped deliver more superior cost-benefits. Aggressive inter-material competition is a reality producers must grapple with especially when margins are squeezed further amid rising energy and feedstock costs. The 5th Specialty Elastomers/TPEs is to meet these challenges.

China is the factory of the world across various industries like Auto, 3Cs, Personal Care, Footwear, etc.  Global compounders have set up operations in China to be close to these customers. However, not all are successful in their foray into China.  Sharing successful strategies is the focus of 5th Specialty Elastomers/TPEs Conference.

As consumers become more sophisticated and want more multiple-sensory perception in the products they use, how will these needs drive innovation of TPEs in the 3Cs, Auto, Personal Care, Footwear sectors?  How can producers help in the product development process?  Are the TPE capabilities in Asia able to support the rapidly growing customer base in Asia?

In their quest to alleviate their dependence on crude, producers have developed bio-based TPEs as an alternative. What are the performance, environmental-friendliness & cost economics of these materials?  What role will they play in future applications?  Evaluate these issues and gain fresh insights at CMT’s 5th Specialty Elastomers/TPEs Conference!  We bring together a top panel of leading players in the TPEs industries to interact, share resources, network and provide future directions for the industries.  Register early with your team to secure your seats and enjoy discounted fees.
