About Conference
Back by popular demand and now in its thirteenth year, Europe's premier international conference for the thermoplastic elastomer industry returns to Cologne on 26-27 October.
Despite the global recession, TPE materials continue to show healthy growth, with global demand forecast to grow at 6% per year to 2013, reaching 4.2 million tonnes (source Freedonia Group), largely due to their unique combination of elastomeric properties with thermoplastic processibility and recyclability.
With the world economy now growing and consumer confidence improving, the demand for higher performance TPEs is set to once again drive technical product developments - this is the place to hear about them. TPE2010 will be packed with new and exciting developments in markets, materials, additives and applications. As you would expect, the situation with TPE markets in a post recession world will be reviewed, together with a look at alternative TPE technologies to keep the European industry ahead of the game.
Programme highlights include a review of styrenic TPE with improved compression set for sealing applications, a new TPE with high vibration damping characteristics and high performance TPE compounds suitable for medical/pharmaceutical use. New processing techniques for compounding TPV s together with new TPV s for automotive applications and the UV performance of TPV s will also be amongst the topics for discussion.
This year's conference will be the perfect complement to the world renowned K International Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber which takes place in nearby Düsseldorf during the same week. Why not take advantage of our specially negotiated accommodation rates at the Cologne Marriott Hotel - only available to registered TPE2010 delegates - and stay on to attend K.
