Added to this, the latest solutions for PFAS-free systems with even more sustainable additives demonstrate the fact that the coating, printing, plastics, and other industries can switch to PFAS-free developments without any loss of performance.
But the series of lectures will also cover fully automated application testing of the latest additives for demand-driven product development through shortened development cycles. This is where the unique digital laboratory – BYK’s high-throughput screening (HTS) facility, which can efficiently test up to 220 samples in just 24 hours – brings its prowess to bear. This enables customized, innovative, and sustainable products to be brought to market much faster.
These presentations offer insights into current trends and product developments as well as the opportunity to talk directly to the developers. Here are just a few of the highlights in the wide-ranging program:
