HallStar Launches Webinar Series in Polymer & Personal Care

The HallStar Company launched a series of free, on-demand webinars to teach compounders and formulators how to integrate new chemical technologies into plasticizer and personal care applications.

The educational series — part of HallStar’s online media system called StarNet — is available from any computer with an Internet connection.  The system is designed to help technical audiences anywhere in the world keep pace with industry innovations.

“Our business is increasingly global,” said John Paro, President and CEO of HallStar.  “These webinars are excellent ways to reach compounders and formulators in any location from New York to New Zealand and all points in between.”

Each webinar is crafted to address specific issues in personal care and polymer additives sectors.  For example, the sun care webinars cover the theories and solutions to photostabilize sun protection products.  The Paraplex® Approach webinar explains when and how to use this revolutionary technology to develop new PVC and nitrile rubber products based on end-use properties. 

A HallStar scientist presents each webinar.  He or she discusses technical properties, and demonstrates how they can be put to work in real-world products to solve problems and optimize performance.

“HallStar webinars — and our entire StarNet media system — are new ways to stay in touch with our customers at their convenience,” said Justin Bill, E-Business Manager at HallStar.  “They are accessible 365/24/7 from the HallStar website at www.hallstar.com/starnet.”
