Achieving good joints is more important than ever for both the manufacturing and construction industries: Joining Plastics 2006 provides an opportunity to network with the experts

Achieving good joints is more important than ever for both the manufacturing and construction industries.

The need to deliver world-class levels of performance, quality and sustainability and meet international competition is growing.

What is more, the consequences of producing inefficient joints or of joint failure can be disastrous.

Some of the latest techniques for joining all types of plastics materials will be presented and discussed at an international two-day conference organised by Rapra at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), London 25-26 April 2006.

Joining covers many diverse technologies - welding, adhesives and fastening systems - so the subject can be complex.

Choosing and applying the best methods is often a lengthy and expensive activity.
