10:00 – 10:30 a.m. BREAK

10:30 – 11:15 a.m. ethylene and Propylene Development

Karl Bartholomew, Vice President, Americas, ICIS ConsultingThe U.S. petrochemical market has seen remarkable change due to new shale gas feedstocks over the past few years, leading to substantial expansions and new plant announce-ments. This presentation will provide a snapshot of current industry developments and examine the future changes in capacity and production for ethylene and propylene and polymers through the end of the decade.

11:15 a.m. – NoonA Fistful of Renewables and a Few Tons MoreEric Linak, Senior Principal Analyst, IHS Chemical (formerly SRI Consulting)In recent years there has been a shake in bio-based chemicals and renewables. “The dumb money is gone” and only the smart money remains with those companies with a strong technology proposition, development partners and a clear understanding the route to commercialization. In relation to adhesives and sealants, which new products are likely to be successful?

9:15 – 10:00 a.m.Formulation Approaches for Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesives for Label ApplicationsPaul Dalley, Research Scientist, TSRC DexcoLabel adhesives are an important application for hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives. In response to the many per-formance requirements for labels, adhesive chemists use several different approaches to formulate pressure sensitive adhesives for label applications. This presentation compares the efficacy of three popular approaches used to formulate styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer (SIS) based hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives. The specific approaches discussed in this presentation are: (1) high diblock linear; (2) high diblock radial; and (3) linear SIS/SB diblock blends. Using rheology, the efficacy of these approaches will be compared. Sample formula will be presented as well.

10:30 – 11:00 a.m.Silane Selection for Adhesives and SealantsYuduo Zhu, Technical Sales, USI Chemical America LLCSilanes are well known as adhesion promoters and coupling agent. This presentation will cover the adhesion theories; what silanes are consisting of; how silane work in adhesives and sealants; and case study of silanes in ad-hesives and sealants. This presentation will outline: adhesion theories; surface energy, wetting, and adhesion; why silane; the properties of silanes (chemical structure, chemical reac-tion, hydrolyzing and condensation, how to modify polymers, and structure and properties); functional silanes; applications of silanes; case study; selection guide; and summary.

11:00 – 11:30 a.m.A Formulator’s Guide to energy Curable Laminating AdhesivesEileen Jaranilla-Tran, Marketing Applications Chemist, Rahn USA CorporationRadiation curable liquid laminating adhesives (LA’s) are continuously making inroads into conventional adhesive ap-plications. With VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions and operating costs coming under constant and increasing pressure, formulators are increasingly turning to 100% solids energy curable adhesives as an environmentally acceptable high speed alternative. This study examines basic energy curable laminating adhesive formulations for specific low viscosity applications and delves into the respective differences between them.

11:30 a.m. – Noonuse of Alternate Plasticizers for Waterborne AdhesivesMarianne Conner, Applications Chemist, Emerald Kalama ChemicalDibenzoate plasticizers have been established as “general purpose plasticizers” for use in waterborne adhesives. These dibenzoates and the newer grades of benzoate esters are the basis of types of plasticizers for the presence and future for adhesives and sealants. They are non-phthalates by their nature but performance is the key. The adhesive industry continues to evolve and needs alter. Newer blends are being considered for both domestic and global needs. This presentation will provide data on the results of the evaluation of alternate plasticizers created for economi-cal use and tailored to the different regions requirements.

1:15 – 2:00 p.m.Science, Pseudo-Science, in Chemical Risk-Based DecisionsGeorge Thompson, President & CEO, Chemical Compliance Systems, Inc.Chemical and product evaluations have historically been based upon the science of risk assessment, since Paraselsus recognized that “the dose makes the poison” in about 1500. Current pharmaceutical, food addictive and pesticide approv-als in the U.S., and around the world, continue to be based upon risk assessments (i.e., hazards and exposures). In recent years, the pseudo- science of basing consumer product, and their chemical constituent, decisions only upon hazard has resulted in consumer confusion and misunderstandings about product risks. Unintended consequences from several hazard-only decisions have resulted in the deaths of millions of children and significantly impacted national economies.

2:00 – 2:30 p.m.GHS Software Tool AdvancementJulia MacGregor, President and CEO, Global Safety Management, Inc.What you don’t know can hurt you. The world is moving faster and with the new GHS regulations, you need practical an-swers on how to stay in compliance. Whether you need to cre-ate safety data sheets, just manage them, or both, you need information so you can objectively evaluate your options. In this presentation, Julie will discuss the types of solutions avail-able to meet the new GHS requirements, their pros and cons and answer your questions regarding bringing your compli-ance strategy into the 21st century. Already have a solution? See what others are available and if you have the right one for you.

The presentation also includes comments from groups and organizations opposed and favoring the initial Priority Product selection and its pro-cess and DTSC’s responses to the comments.

1:15 – 2:00 p.m.Polyurea Sealants Prepared from a new Aspartic ester AmineJay Johnston, Senior Associate Scientist, Bayer MaterialScience LLCPolyurea sealants are becoming the product of choice in high productivity sealing applications, due to their ability to rapidly cure and their capability of low temperature cure. Aromatic secondary amines were first used to slow the reactivity of polyuria sealants, however, they caused sealant discoloration on exposure to UV light. Aliphatic aspartic ester amines are now used in polyurea sealants to decrease the reactivity of the isocyanate-amine reaction, improve UV resistance, give excellent physical properties and allow for tunable gel times. This presentation will review current sealant formulations and sealants prepared from a new aspartic ester amine. The new aspartic ester amine has a lower viscosity and improves potlife and flexibility.

2:00 – 2:45 p.m.vinyl Acetate-ethylene Copolymer for Cost effective Caulks and SealantsRick Miner, Technical Service Account Coordinator, Arkema Coating ResinsCaulk and sealant formulators are constantly striving to reduce formulation costs while maintaining performance characteristics of the sealant. Today, either acrylic or styrene-acrylic waterborne polymers are extensively used in ASTM C834 specification caulks. In this presentation, vinyl acetate-ethylene technology (VAE) will be examined as an alternative to the higher cost acrylic or styrene-acrylic polymers. A discussion on the VAE technology as well as performance in various caulk formulations will be highlighted.

Through quantitative measurements of sealant structure and flow behavior, rheology provides the formu-lator with an understanding of the relationship between formulation components and their impact on application properties. This presentation will demonstrate the relationship between raw material selection and the rheological and application properties of formulated sealants and com-pare to the properties of benchmark sealants. Experimental formulation components studied include pigment to binder ratio, surfactant loading, amount of solvent, and amount of rheological modifier. The understandings gained from rheol-ogy significantly accelerate sealant development and drive product differentiation.

10:00 – 10:15 a.m. BREAK

10:15 – 11:00 a.m.Bio-based Polyols for versatile Reactive Polyure-thane AdhesivesWolfgang Geuking, Sales Development Manager, Croda Inc.A new generation of bio-based polyester polyols in line with the adhesives industry needs towards durable and environ-mentally sustainable materials has been developed. These bio-based polyols can be applied in reactive polyurethane adhesives. The nature of the raw materials enhances wetting of the substrate and offers (low temperature) flexibility. The hydrocarbon character imparts an affinity for a wide range of substrates, including plastics, metal and wood. Furthermore, the bio-based polyols offer a combination of hydrolytic, ther-mo-oxidative and UV stability, which is relevant for demanding applications like sportswear, construction and automotive adhesives. The new polyols are liquid at room temperature for ease of handling, with improved compatibility with other polyols.

11:00 – 11:30 a.m.Advantages of Formulating PSA for Low Temperature using SBSAlejandro Esquivel, Technical Service Engineer, DYNASOL, LLCLabeling and packaging of cold or frozen food, is one of the challenges that the adhesives formulator needs to face nowa-days. When originally the main concern is maintaining the viscoelastic performance of adhesive at frozen temperatures to maintain its capacity of absorbing energy as viscoelastic deformation for an effective bonding, today, another require-ment is to maintain excellent tack when labeling or packag-ing process is developed in cold environments. DYNASOL will present to adhesive market an extended portfolio of SBS and S-SBR copolymers that can be used in PSA formulation for low temperature applications.

9:15 – 10:00 a.m.Fracture Behavior of Silica nanoparticle Filled epoxies: The Influence of Particle-Matrix AdhesionRaymond Pearson, Professor, Lehigh UniversityMany researchers have shown that the fracture toughness of epoxy resins can be significantly improved by the addition of silica nanoparticles. The amount of toughness improvement has been modeled successfully when the fraction of debonded silica nanoparticles is taken into account. In this work, the surfaces of silica nanoparticles have been modified to control the amount of particle-matrix debonding. As expected, the amount of particle-matrix adhesion has a profound effect on yield strength.

10:15 – 11:00 a.m. Sticking to Human Skin: How Difficult Could That Be?Wayne Dunshee, Consulting Scientist, Adherent Laboratories, Inc.Forty years of product development experience with 3M creating medical devices that stick to skin has taught me how complicated sticking things to human skin can be. The adhesive categories used in developing these products has included solvent based acrylate, water based acrylate, synthetic rubber and acrylate hot melt, cyanoacrylate, silicone, natural rubber and polyurethane. When developing products that use adhesives and coatings that stick to skin, understanding the properties of the skin, the adhesive and the coated backing is required to create a high performance product. We will explore some of these properties.

2014and protect the airframe. During paint application, top-coat surfaces can become inert and have poor bond-ing to subsequent topcoat layers, leading to the risk of in-tercoat adhesion failures in service due to water hammer pressure caused by high speed rain impacts. Historically, the only viable method to prevent de-bonding was to me-chanically abrade prior to the application of subsequent coating layers. However, sanding is an ergonomically hazardous process, adds process flow time and produces contamination. Alternatives based on metal alkoxide, sol-gel technology will be discussed using XPS, ESEM, and surface energy analysis to describe the activation mechanism and whirling arm rain erosion to describe performance.

Michael Erby, Manager, RAMPF Group Inc.Manufacturing engineering takes the conceptual part de-sign then defines and builds systems to produce millions of parts per year. The processing equipment will determine suc-cess or failure. Internal machine controls with programmed limits will keep the adhesives in the right amount and in the correct mixing ratio. The responsibility of the equipment sup-plier is to define these targets and recommend equipment that features processing controls such as pressure monitor-ing, temperature controls and feedback loops for dispensing quantity. Additional devices such as cameras, automated weighing scales, lasers and sensors detect problems and alert the operator to make a correction.

1:45 – 2:30 p.m.Prevent Microbial Colonization using a novel nanotechnology-Based CoatingMehdi Kargar, PhD Candidate, Virginia TechHospital acquired infections are the fourth most common cause of death in the US. About 65% of these deaths are caused by infections due to adhesion and growth of microbes on medical surfaces. Therefore an efficient method of managing bacterial infections is to control adhesion and colony formation of patho-gens on the surfaces through engineering the surfaces. In this work, we have used hexagonally packed colloidal monolayers of submicron size spheres as a new anti-adhesion mechanism. The results show that our sphere coating will not only result in more than 80% reduction in the number density of cells adhered to the surface, but also inhibit colony formation while bacteria will make several colonies on untreated surfaces.
