The regulatory landscape for surfactants is always changing for both formulators and producers. This also means that there is a drive to substitute many incumbent surfactants and polymers.
This SFG meeting will address the new regulations from the EU and UK in the next few years with talks from industry experts. It will also include focus on new materials and products which may help to overcome these challenges.
