This seminar from 23 – 25 October 2012 is well-suited for both newcomers to the industry and specialists wishing to enhance their understanding of other application areas of PU. This annual seminar attracts a wide audience from Europe and beyond. In addition it provides a forum for interaction between materials manufacturers, converters and end-users, says Smithers Rapra.

The seminar programme is arranged to allow delegates whose interest lies in a particular production sector to attend for that day only, if they choose, or for any combination of days. Days 1 and 3 are dedicated to the applications of PU and the respective general formulations. Flexible and rigid foams will be discussed on day 1 and CASE on day 3. Day 2 will describe in more detail the different major components, what constitutes all the other possible components used to formulate the polyurethane, how they are produced and why one (or different combinations) would be used rather than another.

The course is directed by Dr. Jim O'Connor, SynUthane International Inc. Venue is Smithers Rapra, Shawbury, UK.
