The PMM provides detailed pricing on PE, PP, PS, PVC and PET resins each month as well as inventory levels among resin processors, short-term demand, feedstock pricing and more.  The presentation will draw information from the most recent issue of the PMM and be followed by a Q&A session.

A recent, independent purging study compares the effectiveness, time-to-purge, cost-to-purge and scrap rate of purging with four common “in-house” resins with a non-abrasive commercial purging compound. Dyna-Purge, a division of Shuman Plastics, commissioned Diamond Polymers to conduct this study to fully understand the benefits of using a commercial purging compound.

On April 18th, at 2pm Eastern Standard Time, Tim Cutler will present these findings in a webinar sponsored by Dyna-Purge and Paulson Training Programs.
