The Adhesive and Sealant Council’s (ASC) is hosting an educational presentation by Mayzo. This presentation will take place on Wednesday, September 13, 2023 from 10:00 AM- 11:00 AM (EDT).
Topic: Polymer Degradation and Additives for Stabilization
The presentation will focus on the crucial topic of polymer degradation and the use of additives for stabilization, which plays a vital role in protecting polymer materials during both processing and end-use applications. The session will delve into the mechanisms of polymer degradation and oxidation.
Introduction to Antioxidants, UV Absorbers, and HALS
The presentation will introduce the main types of additives used for stabilization, namely antioxidants, UV absorbers and HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers). For each type, the benefits and limitations will be introduced, helping the audience understand their specific applications and advantages.
Establishing the Right Stabilization Systems
Mayzo will also share valuable insights into establishing the appropriate stabilization systems through screening tests on adhesive products. The presentation will include practical examples to illustrate the concepts and guidelines for achieving the designed stabilization outcomes.
Regulatory Considerations
In addition to the technical aspects, the presentation will touch upon the regulatory climate associated with these additives. Understanding the regulatory framework is crucial for ensuring compliance and safety when incorporating these additives.
Don’t miss the opportunity to enhance your knowledge about polymer stabilization and the vital role of additives in the process.
