Chinaplas 2015 to hold over 50 technical seminars for buyers

CHINAPLAS 2015 is not only an international showcase of exhibits with over 3,200 companies from 40 countries/regions, but also a place to facilitate technical knowledge transfer and networking between suppliers and buyers. The exhibition, which will be held on 20-23 May, has scheduled more than 50 sessions of technical seminars where leading companies in the industry will share their latest technologies. Topics range from green building materials, energy savings, vehicle light weighting and safety, electronic devices performance to packaging materials safety and environmental issues. 

 

Germany Industry 4.0, being one of the ten major projects being promoted by German government, has been brought into limelight. Arburg Machine & Trading (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. will share about how injection molding industry can be more intelligent with the technology of Germany Industry 4.0 and how it helps the traditional manufacturing to be transitioned to intelligent production, with the combination of automation, internet of things, logistics management, Human-Computer interaction and 3D technology, etc. 

 

In addition, Lubrizol Management (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. will send their two experts from global footwear and global foaming technology divisions to share about the new TPU physical foaming technology - BounCell-X - in superior cushioning application. Polyurethane is a new organic polymer material, known as the "fifth largest plastics". BounCell-X is designed for applications requiring recycle-friendly and more automated production processes, resulting in products having a longer term of cushioning property. 

 

TSRC Corporation, one of the world's largest producers of styrenic block copolymer, will explore about the processing and resulting properties of the pure polymer and combinations with a variety of polyolefin (POE). In the same event, the company will also debut their new hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers (SBC) designed for polyolefin-like processing, compounding, films and fibers. While being processed as a single phase melt, the product can retain its two phase nature at use temperatures to provide strength and creep resistance. It eliminates a variety of problems with mixing and small dimension articles such as films, fibers and thin walled parts when general SBC being processed in the phase separated state. 

 

As one of the Asia's leading extrusion machine suppliers, Nanjing Ruiya Extrusion System Ltd. will hold a session to share about the ways to optimize a twin-screw compounding extrusion line to its highest productivity. The seminar will bring in the simplified approach of Design of Experiments (DOE) and strategies for optimizing the screw design and to identify the best operating range for screw speed, feed rate and barrel temperature settings.

 

Plastic building products have a big role to play in energy savings and efficiency in our living environment. Choosing the right materials and compounds that perform the desired functions is also the key to success. BASF will bring in three new applications of plastics in construction industry, viz. application of engineering plastic materials in water meter and sanitary industry; performance of energy efficient windows made of PVC-PBT co-extrusion profiles; introduction of SPS in construction application to the audience. 

 

 

With the growing popularity of personal electronic devices, many electronic manufacturers and assemblers are looking for plastics with outstanding properties to improve device quality. Dongguan Calvin Plastic & Tech Co., Ltd. has invited two experts of Electronic Instrument Anti-static Equipment Technology Committee in Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, Mr. Kong and Mr. Zhuang to share the application and key technology of thermally conductive / heat-removal materials, as well as the requirements and GB testing standards of anti-electrostatic technology of domestic markets. 

 

Sumitomo Chemical will debut their latest developed SEP such as liquid crystal polymer (LCP), polyethersulfone (PES), etc. in the seminar. Recently, SEP is on high demand among the fields of electronics, home appliances, film, and automobile due to its extraordinary heat resistance and stability. 

 

With more stringent international safety and environmental protection regulations imposed, light-weighting is the future direction of the automotive industry. To align with the market trends, BASF will introduce their performance materials that provide solutions in automotive exterior application, such as roof system and lighting system. In addition, the company also cares about the consumer's driving comfort and safety and will introduce a special Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomers to meet these requirements. 

 

BYK Additives (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of BYK-Chemie, will bring in the interior application to the audience. The company will introduce an innovative additive for polyolefin compound that can effectively reduce odor and VOC level at the interior car compartment to meet the requirements of OEMs in auto industry. Reportedly, the new products can be able to reduce up to 80% of VOC.

 

In the packaging sector, plastic packaging is one of the four major packaging materials in the industry and occupies a lion's share of 30% of the sector's GDP. The competitiveness and technology levels of many Chinese packaging companies have improved a lot in recent years as they strive to adapt new technologies from foreign countries as well as are through self-innovation.  The US based Emerald Kalama Chemical, LLC will introduce two environmentally-friendly phthalate-free plasticizers - benzoates and dibenzoates. The fast-fusing plasticizers improve the process speed of flexible vinyls, effectively increasing line speed and/or lower processing temperature, thereby improving productivity and energy efficiency. 

 

Many more industry players, such as DSM, ExxonMobil, Borouge, SK Global, Farrel Pomini, along with other prestigious firms will together deliver over 50 sessions of technical seminar at CHINAPLAS. At the same time, a series of inspiring concurrent events and themed activities will be put on concurrently, namely, "Design x Innovation", "Industrial Automation: Robot Parade & Smart Production", "Medical Plastics Conference", "Haier's Suppliers Communication Conference" , "Open Up Asia and Latin America Emerging Markets" Seminar, making the show a must-go event.
