Elastomers in the Age of PFAS & 6PPD
The IOM3 Elastomer Group's Afternoon Technical Discussion Meeting series is the main platform for the technical and scientific community in the UK to discuss the use of rubber and elastomers.
Join us for an insightful afternoon at the Elastomers in the Age of PFAS & 6PPD Technical Discussion Meeting hosted by IOM3 in London. This event will focus on the challenges and advancements related to the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and 6PPD in elastomer applications.
This technical discussion meeting will provide a platform for industry professionals, researchers, and experts to explore the environmental and health impacts of PFAS and 6PPD in elastomers. Engage in detailed discussions, share knowledge, and gain insights into regulatory changes, alternative materials, and innovative solutions.
Agenda Highlights:
- Presentations on the latest research regarding PFAS and 6PPD in elastomers
- Case studies on managing PFAS and 6PPD challenges in manufacturing
- Q&As to encourage interactive dialogue
This meeting is ideal for professionals involved in elastomer production, environmental health and safety, regulatory compliance, and research and development. Stay informed about the critical issues and emerging solutions in the age of PFAS and 6PPD.
