Presentación

Almost 100% of the plastic products on the market have been modified with additives, fillers, reinforcements, or combinations of all of them.

The main reason of that is to achieve novel final properties, improve processing, adapt to new regulations, stabilize plastics or even reduce costs in plastic items. 

Being able to know the function, dosing and processability of each type of additive, filler or reinforcement is of vital importance to achieve the desired final properties.

This training will describe the functions and effects of each additive, filler or reinforcement, they will be related to each polymer, regulations, type of processing and the most commonly used formulations.

With this knowledge the attendees will be able to properly select their pack of additives, fillers and reinforcements, as well as to achieve an optimal balance of properties, processability and final cost.
