Smithers Rapra announces expert agenda for eighth Latex & Synthetic Polymer Dispersions conference in Malaysia for 2013

Tuesday 04. June 2013 - Back by popular demand, Smithers Rapra's eighth international Latex & Synthetic Polymer Dispersions conference returns to Malaysia this September for what is promised to be another sell-out event. The 2013 agenda unveils the key topics and issues that face the latex industry as well as the high profile speakers presenting their insights in the market.

As the only conference to report on the technical, commercial and regulatory changes that lie at the heart of the latex industry, this event is for anyone involved in the formulation, manufacture, compounding or processing of latex. The 2013 conference unites a panel of speakers that are on the cutting edge of innovation and development and will feature 17 presentations from leading organisations like Ansell, Kraton, Synthomer, Nordion and the Malaysian Rubber Board representing a global perspective of the entire industry.
The opportunities for innovation in this sector (and financial growth) are countless. In fact, the recent re-emergence of the avian influenza H7N9 virus in Asia and the corresponding rise in demand for barrier protection means that this event could not be better timed. Those involved in this sector need to keep up with the latest developments in order to retain their position in this market.
New application ideas, novel designs and lower cost material solutions are now readily available and many will be showcased at the Latex & Synthetic Polymer Dispersions 2013 conference.
The event provides a unique opportunity to review recent developments in natural rubber latex grades, get up to date with current legislation on medical devices and explore new applications of latex nanocomposites processing and the latest thinking in dipping technology.
