High Performance and Speciality Elastomers 2007 - Conference Proceedings
Smithers Information Ltd, Dec 2007
Frankfurt, Germany, 5-6 December 2007
Rapra Conference Proceedings, 2007
Demand for high performance elastomers continues to grow, driven by higher technical, specification and legislative requirements in end use sectors such as the automotive, defence and petrochemical industries. In fact the Freedonia Group forecasts US demand for fluoroelastomers, just one of many performance elastomers, to grow by 5.4% bringing the market to $365m by 2011.
But as always, the future of the elastomers sector depends on the creation of new materials which deliver a better price/performance ratio for speciality and niche markets. This conference was designed to bring together material suppliers, engineers, compounders, manufacturers, processors and end users of high performance elastomers to discuss new materials, manufacturing processes, application requirements and legislation.
Now in its fourth year, these conference proceedings cover a broad range of subjects including developments in fluoro and perfluoroelastomers, innovations in fluorinated liquid silicone rubber, processing and reprocessing of high performance and speciality elastomers and case studies demonstrating their uses in subsea and sealing applications.
