One of the appropriate markets for recycling condensation polymers (polyester, polycarbonate, polyamide) is the coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers market (CASE), where many of the useful components for high performance already rely on varying levels of condensation polymers.

N-Butylpyrrolidone (NBP) as a Green Solvent to Replace N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) in Industrial Coating Applications

ON DEMAND: EPA published a regulation proposal around N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) in June 2024 to ban or limit NMP in many applications, such as paints and coatings and their removers. N-butylpyrrolidone (NBP) is a powerful and versatile solvent for a variety of industries looking for alternatives to substance of very high concern (SVHC)-listed solvents.

The Manufacturing & Automation eXchange (MAX)

MAX presents a rare opportunity to observe the full scope of manufacturing in one environment. From systems integration and materials handling to automation, quality, safety, and packaging, each discipline is represented through live, operational displays. By experiencing these technologies side by side, as they are on actual production floors, attendees gain a grounded understanding of how manufacturing functions align, overlap, and evolve in practice.
