The most important technical issues facing the nonwovens industry in 2008 ranging from increasing energy costs to nanotechnology to the need to pursue technologies with commercial applications are part of the agenda recently announced for the 2008 International Nonwovens Technical Conference (INTC), scheduled for September 8-11, 2008, at the Hilton Americas in Houston, Tex.
Co-sponsored and organized by INDA, Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, and TAPPI, Technical Association of the Pulp an Paper Industry, the world's largest nonwovens technical conference will once again bring together hundreds of technical executives from all aspects of the nonwovens, textile and paper markets.
It will feature presentations from dozens of researchers and experts from around the world during the four days of technical sessions, tutorials and networking.
Highlighting the four-day technical conference will be a keynote presentation from Karen Jones, Director of Fibers & Feedstocks at Chemical Market Associates Inc. (CMAI).
She will discuss how nonwovens manufacturers are facing an enduring squeeze as rising resin costs are quickly eating into margins. Jones will also provide insight into the current oil price dynamics that are having a major impact on the nonwovens industry.
