In recent years the markets for foams or expended substrates has grown enormously, this is documented through the high number of patent applications for products and processes which are filed each year. This third, international conference dedicated to the critical role of blowing agents in foamed plastics and rubber assembled major blowing agent manufacturers and suppliers, foaming process providers and academia to present insight into the industrial progress and research for foam generation.
