Chris Paynter, North America Director of Technology and Innovation, will share Imerys’ technical development with its FiberLink® 201S additive, which offers a range of cost saving, environmental, and performance benefits. A 30+ year veteran of Imerys, Paynter has been responsible for new product development in fields as diverse as polyolefin films, PVC pipes, paints, adhesives and sealants, and food and pharmaceutical applications.
