Arkema’s distributor Multichem/Polychem will participate at Ausplas 2008 with the support of local staff, promoting Rilsan® renewable polyamides, Kynar® PVDF, Pebax® and the range of functional polyolefins, Evatane®, Lotryl®, Lotader® and Orevac®.

Ausplas, Australia’s national exposition for the plastics processing industry, is held only every three years and is on from the 6th to 10th of October in Melbourne. Displays will include operating equipment covering half of the exhibition area, new materials technology, ancillary equipment; and a series of half day seminars will be presented by the Society of Plastics Engineers A-NZ. Since visitors travel to Ausplas from across Australia, New Zealand and other near-neighbour countries in Asia Pacific, it is a good opportunity to showcase new Technical Polymers products in this innovative market.
