Biocidal Products Regulation: Identity, Physico-chemical properties and Analytical Methodology

Polyols are the largest volume raw material used in polyurethanes. Cost and Performance are the two biggest factors for determining the best polyol for a specific polyurethane application.

Many complex and multi-stage API syntheses involve transformations for which batch processing has significant limitations in terms of safety, quality, yield and/or feasibility. Even at moderate manufacturing scales, which are typical for the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries, the continuous processing benefits become more obvious for pharmaceutical companies, API manufacturers and regulatory authorities. This webinar will examine the benefits and advantages of using continuous processing for the manufacturing of fine chemicals and APIs, illustrated by industrial case studies. Presentation 1: "Flow Chemistry - Concepts and Tools" by Dr. Patrick Löb Continuous processing is playing an increasing role in the development and manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). This presentation specifically outlines concepts and tools of flow chemistry based on milli- and microstructure reactors. Benefit topics - improved process controls, the accessibility of novel process windows, straightforward scale-up, and operational advantages - are discussed and illustrated by selected application examples. Challenges such as the handling of solids are addressed.

GE Digital Marketing Leader, Laura Foti talks with leaders of the Chemical Industry about using the Industrial Internet of Things to improve safety, increase output, and maximize revenue. Hear from PPG, Accenture, GrayMatter, and Forrester executives on how automating and digitizing processes can remove variability, improve product quality, and ultimately lead to better outcomes for customers.

OSHA’s struggles to reform its chemical exposure limits continue with the rocky roll-out of its two newest occupational exposure standards – Silica and Beryllium. Both standards have faced legal challenges, but will survive in some form resulting in a full panoply of new obligations, including significant reductions in the allowable exposure levels to these chemicals, and a comprehensive set of ancillary requirements, such as housekeeping, hygiene, medical surveillance, recordkeeping, workplace signage, training, etc.
