Blowing Agents and Foaming Processes 2009, Conference Proceedings

Foamed substances are now being sourced as an alternative substance for applications that previously had an established material. Blowing agents or blowing gases are excellent 'fillers' and have the dual benefits of saving material and reducing weight, the latter minimising shipping and other related expenses. Today there are numerous solutions on offer - new methods, technology, processes and additives, all of which will be looked at during this conference.

Blowing Agents and Foaming Processes, 2009 is a well established conference and the only event world-wide offering such a prestigious range of academic, practical and industrial papers. All technical papers presented at this event are included in the proceedings and focus on; blowing agents and gases specialities, nano structures, foam injection moulding, new extrusion findings and microcellular foams.

The people who attend may be suppliers of additives, or compounders, or end-users or they may be people who want to know how to use additives. Rapra Technology Ltd. has run Addcon successfully for 6 years, to a proven formula, based on two days of short presentations. Papers are mostly technical, but there are a few commercial overviews too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are always new business opportunities for additives. Thermosetting resins are becoming widely accepted in new building and construction markets and they are increasingly deployed in the refurbishment of older civil engineering structures. The wire and cable insulation industry need well stabilized and flame resistant polymers to help provide the infrastructure for new communications technology. Customers want more difficult combinations of properties – such as transparent but permanently antistatic products, or pigments capable of offering novel visual effects, without loss of functional properties. The drive for more cost-effective processing has produced more ingenious lubricants and other processing aids. The search for more effective stabilizers to prolong the useful life of polymer articles continues, and new cost-effective ways of incorporating additives are being developed, Additives remain at the forefront of the revolution in material usage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eList of Papers\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaper 1: From cost-cutting to knowledge-based services.

The people who attend may be suppliers of additives, or compounders, or end-users or they may be people who want to know how to use additives. Rapra Technology Ltd. has run Addcon successfully for 6 years, to a proven formula, based on two days of short presentations. Papers are mostly technical, but there are a few commercial overviews too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are always new business opportunities for additives. Thermosetting resins are becoming widely accepted in new building and construction markets and they are increasingly deployed in the refurbishment of older civil engineering structures. The wire and cable insulation industry need well stabilized and flame resistant polymers to help provide the infrastructure for new communications technology. Customers want more difficult combinations of properties – such as transparent but permanently antistatic products, or pigments capable of offering novel visual effects, without loss of functional properties. The drive for more cost-effective processing has produced more ingenious lubricants and other processing aids. The search for more effective stabilizers to prolong the useful life of polymer articles continues, and new cost-effective ways of incorporating additives are being developed, Additives remain at the forefront of the revolution in material usage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eList of Papers\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaper 1: From cost-cutting to knowledge-based services.

Willoughby \u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-1-85957-374-7 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003epages 250\n\u003ch5\u003eSummary\u003c\/h5\u003e\nHealth, safety, and the environment are key driving factors in the industry in the 21st Century. Monitoring of exposure to chemicals in the workplace and in emissions from factories is used to calculate exposure to possible chemical toxins including carcinogens. Other factors must also be considered in chemical monitoring, such as the actual risk of harm and possible areas of high exposure, such as when opening ovens or dealing with equipment problems, situations where a build-up of the chemical can occur in an enclosed environment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDifferent types of monitoring equipment and ways of monitoring are available. For example, static monitoring can be carried out in one place over a period of time, or a recorder can be placed on an employee near to the breathing zone to measure individual exposure to chemicals. There are many factors which can lead to inaccurate interpretation of results from using equipment which does not distinguish between critical chemicals or which is not sufficiently sensitive, to not taking into account local factors such as employee's smoking habits. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo measure a chemical in air, it must first be trapped in some way and the trapped sample analysed. There are different methods of trapping from simple grab sampling of air to the use of filters, absorbents, and adsorbents. The trapped sample must be analysed and a variety of methods are available. Chemicals present at low levels can still be toxic. The aim is to choose a method that is capable of measuring across the range of exposure levels of concern. Government bodies such as NIOSH and OSHA in the USA and the HSE in the UK have published approved methods for specific chemical species. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many chemicals in use in the rubber and plastics industries from the monomers polymerised to form plastics and rubbers, to the additives used to enhance the polymer properties. In addition, other potentially hazardous substances are formed by reactions between these base chemicals and with air. The formation of suspected carcinogenic nitrosamine compounds by some rubber formulations is a case in point. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book examines the types of chemicals found in the polymer industry and the potential hazards. It goes on to explain the common chemical reactions of concern to health and safety. Monitoring methods are described in some detail together with their limitations. This is essentially a practical book giving a background to the chemistry of the polymer industry and chemical monitoring methods. It will be of use to workers and managers across the industry in explaining what should be done and why. It will be of particular interest to occupational health and environmental monitoring specialists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e1 What to

Monitoring of exposure to chemicals in the workplace and in emissions from factories is used to calculate exposure to possible chemical toxins including carcinogens. Other factors must also be considered in chemical monitoring, such as the actual risk of harm and possible areas of high exposure, such as when opening ovens or dealing with equipment problems, situations where a build-up of the chemical can occur in an enclosed environment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDifferent types of monitoring equipment and ways of monitoring are available. For example, static monitoring can be carried out in one place over a period of time, or a recorder can be placed on an employee near to the breathing zone to measure individual exposure to chemicals. There are many factors which can lead to inaccurate interpretation of results from using equipment which does not distinguish between critical chemicals or which is not sufficiently sensitive, to not taking into account local factors such as employee's smoking habits. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo measure a chemical in air, it must first be trapped in some way and the trapped sample analysed. There are different methods of trapping from simple grab sampling of air to the use of filters, absorbents, and adsorbents. The trapped sample must be analysed and a variety of methods are available. Chemicals present at low levels can still be toxic. The aim is to choose a method that is capable of measuring across the range of exposure levels of concern. Government bodies such as NIOSH and OSHA in the USA and the HSE in the UK have published approved methods for specific chemical species. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are many chemicals in use in the rubber and plastics industries from the monomers polymerised to form plastics and rubbers, to the additives used to enhance the polymer properties. In addition, other potentially hazardous substances are formed by reactions between these base chemicals and with air. The formation of suspected carcinogenic nitrosamine compounds by some rubber formulations is a case in point. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book examines the types of chemicals found in the polymer industry and the potential hazards. It goes on to explain the common chemical reactions of concern to health and safety. Monitoring methods are described in some detail together with their limitations. This is essentially a practical book giving a background to the chemistry of the polymer industry and chemical monitoring methods. It will be of use to workers and managers across the industry in explaining what should be done and why. It will be of particular interest to occupational health and environmental monitoring specialists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e1 What to
