PINE CHEMICALS ASSOCIATION HOSTS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN ORLANDO
The Pine Chemicals Association returned to Orlando to host the 2010
PCA International Conference at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Orlando,
Grande Lakes. The last time the Conference was held in Orlando was
in 2005 at the Royal Pacific Resort Hotel, part of Universal Studios.
We were encouraged by the attendance at this year’s Conference as
opposed to the 2009 Conference in San Francisco. Combined
attendance in 2010 was 210, compared with 176 at the same
conference in 2009.
Attendees arrived on Sunday, September 19th, (some earlier) and
registered for the Conference. The kickoff event was the Welcome
Reception held on Sunday evening from 6:00 ? 7:30 pm. As always
this provided an excellent opportunity for delegates and spouses to
renew old acquaintances and greet new delegates.
The Conference got underway on Monday, September 20th, with the
General Session. Alan Phillips of Arizona Chemical had done an
outstanding job of assembling a number of very interesting
presentations on a variety of different and timely tropics. Mike
Roberts, PCA Chairman, gave an overview of the accomplishments
during the past year as well as the challenges facing the Association
during the coming year(s). Lee Godina of Resinall was introduced as
the General Session Moderator.
Rod Young of RISI opened the General Session with a look at the
future of soft wood pulping. He was followed by Korijn Defever of
Arthur D Little and she posed the question is Crude Tall Oil, Too
Valuable to Burn? This was a very interesting discussion about the
carbon footprint of CTO processing. Korijn’s presentation was
followed by Kamal Dujodwala of Dujodawala Products LTD who
presented a very interesting overview of the markets for Rosin and
Turpentine Chemicals in India. As we continued around the globe the
next speaker, Li Yi of the China Forest Trade Association, gave an
overview of the market for China Rosin and Turpentine Chemicals.
The last presentation of the morning’s General Session was by Matt
Croson of the Adhesive and Sealants Council. He spoke about the
long term growth of the adhesives market.

Following a lively Q & A session with all of the speakers participating,
delegates were invited to the group lunch. At the lunch Dr. Kevin
Swift, an economist with the American Chemistry Council, gave his
long and short term views of the global economy.
On Monday the Gum Rosin Committee met at 3:00 pm and we heard
very interesting presentations concerning gum rosin markets around
the world. These included an overview of China by Alex Nazari, an
overview of South America by Bernardo Mello, and an overview of
Mexico by Fredo Arias-King. Last but certainly not least was an
overview of the Russian situation by Nikolay Khodov.
A second reception was well attended this time held in an outdoor
location. At the reception Ann & John Smith (straight from their
wedding ceremony on Sunday the 19th) decided to spend their
honeymoon at the PCA Conference.
At Tuesday’s General Session, Peter Acton of Arboris served as
Moderator. The first speaker was Andrew Matthews of the Flint Group
who spoke on the not so rosy future of the printing ink market. He
was followed by Eric Moussu of DRT who gave a presentation on
Terpene Resins. Michael Bush of Energy Vision gave his annual
update on global energy markets and the Tuesday Session was
concluded by a presentation by Mike Husain of Arizona Chemical on
the subject of Sustainability.
To conclude the Conference delegates and their guests went to the
Red Coconut Club, a part of Universal’s City Walk, for dinner and
entertainment.
