Speaker - Addison Beckmeyer of Sunpol Resins will be speaking on Alkyds. 

​

Title: In-process and Post-Batch Analysis for Alkyd Resins: Understanding Quality in Polymer Synthesis

​

Abstract:  Alkyd Resins are well-established thermoset polymers used for a range of coatings applications. With a broad variety of raw materials and production strategies, quality production requires an understanding of process inputs and in-process analytical control. This presentation will outline the critical inputs and analytical techniques during alkyd production. Additionally, address method capability and interpretation of analytical data in the context of process consistency. Finally, summarize a holistic approach in quality production by applying more in-depth techniques and incorporating final formulation performance. 

​

Bio: Addison Beckemeyer holds a Master’s degree in organic chemistry from CSU Sacramento and has over five years of experience in renewable polymer synthesis. In his last two years at Sunpol, Addison has focused on streamlining R&D efforts and implementing robust quality management systems for production.
