Forum on Aspects of Rheology

Wednesday 24 September 2008

Cedar Court Hotel, Bradford

Continuing West Riding's successful Forum format, 'Aspects of Rheology' will include a series of advanced presentations on innovations and developments in thickeners, rheology modifiers, instrumentation and the measurement of rheological properties of coatings.

Previous Aspects Forums were very well attended with a high level of information given by selected experts from academia and industry.

'Aspects of Rheology' will deliver a more advanced treatment of a highly specialised subject and will offer a better understanding of a complex subject which should benefit formulators, production and marketing personnel in the coatings, printing and adhesives industries.

For more information and registration, please visit the main pages of the Aspects of Rheology forum.


Trim Your Wasteline

Monday 3rd November 2008

The Manchester Section of the Oil & Colour Chemists' Association will be holding a seminar on Monday 3rd November. We shall again be utilising the excellent facilities of the Manufacturing Institute, Quay West, Trafford Wharf Road, Manchester, which is easily accessible from the M6, M62 and M60 motorways.

The theme of the papers will reflect how important it is to tackle the problem of waste in general, and that generated within the coatings and printing industries in particular. We hope to convince you that by following the guidelines given during these presentations, not only is it possible to help the environment, but also to save money (and, in some cases, maybe even make money). It is hoped the presentations will generate much thought-provoking discussion and allow delegates an insight into how the coatings industry can impact in what is a rapidly changing world.
