FIVE KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

FOR OPENING

DAY

DR. WAVA TRUSCOTT, President of Truscott Medsci Associates, USA, will speak at the Opening Day of the International Rubber Conference in

Kuala Lumpur on September 4 this year. Her keynote address will be on “Gloves as Weapons of War in the Fight against Untreatable Infections”. Over the last 8 decades we have grown to accept antibiotics as “magic bullets” against infection as fundamental components of medical treatment. Unfortunately this is not going to continue to be the case. This lecture will focus on current state of antibiotic resistance, our vulnerable ageing population, their impact on infection rates and severity and how this affects near-future glove demand and the urgent need for infection prevention solutions.

DENIS LOW JAU FOO, President of the Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (MARGMA) and Corporate Affairs and Sales and Marketing Director of Supermax Corporation Bhd., will speak on the state of the Malaysian rubber glove industry.

Having thrived and evolved over a period of two decades, the Malaysian rubber glove industry has experienced many transformations and endured many challenges to become the global leader. In his presentation, Low will share his valuable insights on the state of the rubber glove industry – from humble past to present day and the ever-changing future. He will talk on world trends and Malaysia’s position as global

leader, past and future evolution of manufacturing processes, products and how governmental and regulatory policies will influence them.

DR. ALAN MUHR, former Head of Engineering Research and Design, Tun Abdul Razak Research Centre (TARRC), will speak on failure of rubber products in service and methods to prolong the service life of same. Dr. Muhr read mathematics at Cambridge University, UK and did his doctorate at Nottingham. He joined TARRC in 1983 and became Leader of the Engineering Research & Design Unit in 1999. He has published papers on a wide range of rubber engineering and applications topics. In 2015 he received the Melvin Mooney Distinguished Technology Award from the ACS Rubber Division – the most prestigious award available to a rubber professional.

DR. YUKO IKEDA becomes the first prominent rubber scientist to agree to give a KEYNOTE ADDRESS in IRC 2018 KUALA LUMPUR. Professor Ikeda is from the Faculty of Molecular Chemistry and Engineering, Kyoto Institute of Technology. Her interests are in rubber and elastomer science and technology and she is expected to give a critical review, including new insights, of the mechanism of sulphur crosslinking.

PROFESSOR DATUK DR. AHMAD FAUZI ISMAIL, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Research and Innovation of Universiti Teknoloji Malaysia (UTM), will speak on purification (tertiary treatment) of treated wastewater using membrane purification technology. The rubber industry, upstream as well as downstream (latex products), are heavy users of water. Prof. Fauzi has developed a working model to recover treated wastewater for re-use.

About 160 papers have

been received to-date from a diverse range of topics. Dr. Ong Siew Kooi from the Secretariat of the IRC Technical Committee announced papers will be from all over the world with presenters from 20 countries including China, Germany, India, Japan, Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom and United

States of America. The topics are from upstream and downstream rubber; i.e., biotechnology, rubber science, tech-nology, applications, products, engineering, test methods, standards development, quality control, techno-economics, marketing as well as sustainability and environmental management. Some of the highlights of papers from the conference are: 1. Variation, heritability and genetic

correlation of growth and wood traits in para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) and implications for breeding.

2. Dry and wet rubbers: effect of protein, phospholipids on their characteristics and properties.

3. New polymer: NORDEL EPDM, TherbanA®, light-colored BR, high cis-1,4 sequence BR, rubber synthesized via rare-earth catalyst and functionalized sSBR.

4. Future fillers for the rubber industry: carbon-based fillers, aerogel-based hybrid fillers, multi-functional filler, in-situ nano-filled NR and SmartNet silica.

5. New rubber processing: compounding of 100 phr filled masterbatch, producing transparent latex products and effect of pretreatment on latex dipped gloves properties.

6. Seismic-protection and tire: insight into rubber science, rubber application, and rubber engineering.

7. New test methods: new mass spectrometry to characterize

polymer and utilizing rheological and thermal analysis in vulcanization kinetics.

8. Standards development: Thailand rubber products, and ISO standard on cleanroom gloves. Equipment development in support of certi-fication of rubber products.

9. Automotive and related products: tyre regulation framework and solving of environmental issues.

10. Rubber techno-economics: How new technologies, market trends and U.S. Dollar are affecting rubber price? Development of rubber industries in Malaysia and Thailand.

11. Rubber marketing and pricing: highlights on rubber gloves, condoms, and other rubber latex products.

12. Sustainability: the role of compounding ingredients and rubber products.

RECORD TURNOUT FOR THE CONFERENCE EXHIBITION A record of 535 booths will be available for the 3-day International Glove and

Rubber Exhibition. Mr. Patrick Leong of the Malaysian Rubber Gloves Manufacturers Association, organisers of the IRGCE, said 97% of the booths have been sold. In addition to the usual stalwarts of the biennial International Rubber Glove Exhibition held in conjunction with the International Rubber Glove Conference, the 2018 edition will feature dry rubber product manufacturers, and machinery, test equipment and chemical suppliers representing the non-latex sector. There will be 205 exhibitors from 14 countries, a dramatic increase from 2016. Malaysia’s glove heavyweights like Top Glove, Kossan, Hartalega, Supermax, YTY, Riverstone, etc. are putting in a strong presence at the Exhibition. China will be represented, as well as Thailand, Sri Lanka, India and Indonesia. Equipment manufacturers and distributors will also be there. In addition to big contingents from Malaysia and China, equipment suppliers from India, Japan, Switzerland, Europe and Indonesia will also be showing their wares. Mindful of the need of Malaysian manufacturers to upgrade their technology, particularly in the areas of automation and labour-saving, MARGMA will put up two special sections aimed at promoting an eco-system that encourages the quest toward automation and more research and development by industry players. The first will emphasize Industry 4.0. The second is a special space for research departments of local universities to meet up with industry to discuss joint R&D projects.

IRC FEES HRDF CLAIM-ABLE PRIM is negotiating with HRDF to enable eligible participants in IRC2018 to apply for reimbursement of IRC Conference fees. A number of seminars are embedded in the IRC program. The Seminar on Techno-Economics, Pricing and Marketing of Rubber will run on the Second Day of the Conference. Key speaker is Singaporean Dar Wong who will speak on Global Economic Influences on Rubber Prices. Wong is a regular speaker at regional rubber conferences, including the Global Rubber Conferences in Bangkok and HCMC. He is famously credited with predicting the rise of NR prices to US$ 2.40/kg at end of 2016. Pong Kai See will discuss the new rubber economy particularly the new NR supply and demand situations. Rubber demand will be impacted by advances in tyre design, manufacturing technology and new technologies particularly in the transport sector. Electric vehicles, self-drive cars and car-sharing will have major impacts on auto-makers and the demand of rubber. Japan’s Kawano presents her research findings on comparison of rubber products manufacture of Thailand and Malaysia. Earlier in the morning the IRC Seminar on Sustainability and Environmental

Management will feature speakers from India, Singapore and Malaysia. Topics include membrane separation process, state of the art of eco-friendly processing, recovery of fine chemicals from waste and superior tertiary wastewater treatment for sustainable water management.
