Summary Additives and compounding are the two key aspects of good plastic manufacturing, and both were brought together in this year's AddCom event. Building on the long-running Addcon series of conferences organised by Smithers Rapra, and IKV's well established Plastics Technology series, AddCom 2012 has been freshly researched to tackle the challenges faced by today's plastics professionals. These proceedings contain all the presentations from the conference
