The Annual PE100+ Association Advisory Committee - 2006

The Annual PE100+ Association Advisory Committee Meeting was held in Barcelona in 30- 31st May, 2006. The invitation to the meeting was well received and a new record of participant number (34) was achieved. The meeting was again professionally chaired by Henri Van Speybroeck.

Future direction and recent promotion activities of the association were presented by the PE100+ Association President Robin Bresser and Marketing Manager Nora Mäkelä-Vaarne.

Steve Beech (SBH Consulting) presented topics and status of the project on “Evaluation of fusion quality-Short term and long term testing”. Pierre Belloir (Total Petrochemicals) showed preliminary results on the project “Water quality and effects of disinfectants”. Both projects are funded by the PE100+ Association and will be continued.

Finally Thomas Cheron and Eric Albaret from Sade presented industrial projects demonstrating successful solutions with pipes made from PE100 materials.

In addition to the regular Advisory Committee members and the PE100+ Association Board, a representative group of Spanish industry experts were present. During the feedback round, the group came to a consensus that this is a very valuable annual event for the industry experts across the value chain to meet.
