The “Utech Europe” (www.utecheurope.eu) polyurethanes conference will be held in Maastricht / The Netherlands from 29 - 31 May 2018. The three-day event is organised by Crain Communications (Croydon / UK; www.crain.co.uk). Utech Europe 2015 had over 8,650 people attend over the course of the three-day event and the organisers expect the 2018 conference to be larger and busier.

PU industry topics at the conference will include new products, new markets, developments in raw materials, PU systems, processing equipment and manufacturing technologies. A wide range of PU technology applications will be addressed, such as automotive interiors, tiny medical devices, textiles, insulation, adhesives and coatings.

Registration is not yet open but there is currently a call for papers. To submit a paper for presentation or for more information, contact Donna Bushell (dbushell@crain.com).
