Update 27 May 1998

PU China '98 Conference,
Shanghai,
People's Republic of China,
April 1-3, 1998

Book of Conference Papers
The PU China '98 meeting attracted over 3000 polyurethane specialists - primarily from within China - all keen to hear about the latest possibilities of polyurethane technology. The organisers - Crain Communications Ltd, London, and Industrial Promotions International BV, the Netherlands - say the success came partly because the Shanghai venue is closer to much of the country's most highly developed industries, but also from momentum building on the successful 1995 event in Beijing.

The Book of Papers from the conference is now available at £85.00 (inc. shipping in the UK; + £5.00 non-UK airmail). It contains 52 papers covering all aspects of the PU industry in China, and the latest technological developments worldwide. A full list of contents is presented below.

A further PU China event is being planned for 2000. This will probably also be in Shanghai, depending on feedback from the participants in the 1998 event.

China remains of great interest, however, and we offer continuing marketing opportunities through the Chinese language edition of Urethanes Technology, which is published twice a year in April and October.

If you wish to receive details of this or the PU China 2000 conference & exhibition, or to submit an outline for a paper, please e-mail our conference department, or write to
