Renewable content, regulatory compliance and improved materials performance are among the issues that global producers of polyurethane-based coatings and elastomers will find covered during 20 technical presentations and special-issue sessions at the Polyurethanes 2009 Technical Conference, Oct. 5–7, 2008, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center near Washington, D.C.

ARLINGTON, VA – Renewable content, regulatory compliance and improved materials performance are among the issues that global producers of polyurethane-based coatings and elastomers will find covered during 20 technical presentations and special-issue sessions at the Polyurethanes 2009 Technical Conference, Oct. 5–7, 2008, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center near Washington, D.C.
 
Sponsored by the Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) of the American Chemistry Council (ACC), this year’s conference will include more than 80 technical papers, as well as numerous poster presentations, educational seminars and the annual Polyurethane Innovation Awards. CPI will release its biannual 2008 End Use Market Survey on the polyurethane industry in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and two special-issue sessions will address the “greening” of the regulatory landscape and unlocking potential in a recession.
