www.ChinaplasOnline.comare exploring applications for all types of
advanced materials, from liquid crystal
polymers and nano-materials to modi-
fied graphene EPS. Examples of all such
materials are expected to be on promi-
nent display at CHINAPLAS 2017.
Plastics and 3D printing to promote
medical industry
: Certain modified plas-
tics offer excellent biocompatibility and
have to drive the medical industry’s rapid
development. At CHINAPLAS 2017, sup-
pliers of healthcare materials such as sili-
cone rubber, bio-safe resins, and new po-
lymers that offer good resistance to gam-
ma rays will all be on show. The medical
industry also has been an enthusiastic
adopter of 3D printing equipment/tech-
nology and of wearable technology.
CHINAPLAS 2017 will launch a “3D Tech-
nology Subzone” offering the latest in
additive manufacturing technologies,
equipment, and materials.
Green packaging to be on stage
: Envi-
ronmentally friendly packaging is a glo-
bal hot topic when talking about sustain-
able development. The packaging indus-
try tends to adopt lightweight, thin films,
degradable materials, and package cons-
tructions that resist water, oxygen, air
and ultraviolet rays. Exhibitors at the
16-19 May 2017, Guangzhou, PR China
n
Asia's No. 1 plastics and rubber trade
fair is an end-user-oriented trade fair fo-
cusing on “
Intelligent Manufacturing,
High-tech Materials and Green Solu-
tions
”. Since its debut in 1983, CHINA-
PLAS has been dedicated to satisfying
the demands of customers in the key
end markets, including automotive,
building and construction, packaging,
electrical and electronics, information
technology, telecommunications and
medical. The last edition of CHINAPLAS
successfully welcomed 148,575 visitors,
among which 39,454 were overseas visi-
tors from over 160 countries and re-
gions. As an influential event, CHINA-
PLAS always strives to present state-of-
the-art technology and products that can
be used to help companies in those in-
dustries to innovate and operate more
efficiently, sustainably and competitively.
A showcase for high-performance
automotive materials
: In recent years,
the percentage of plastics used in a car
has become one of the essential mea-
sures for technological advancement.
The automotive industry is increasingly
incorporating various polymers. Materi-
als with molded-in color, as well as car-
bon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and
low-VOC resins have all become hot to-
pics in the industry. With the continuing
development of electric vehicles, high-
performance materials are finding use in
charging piles and interior circuit con-
trols of vehicles. CHINAPLAS 2017 will
offer international visitors plenty of ex-
amples of the latest in these types of ma-
terials and applications. Exhibitors also
will be showing the latest in laser pro-
cessing technology and automated, inte-
grated production line.
Advanced materials embrace build-
ing & construction industry
: Light-
weight, flexible, durable and easy-to-
ship plastics also are extensively used in
building and construction today. Consi-
dering the demands on aesthetic appea-
rance and utility, experts in this industry
CHINAPLAS 2017
show will be displaying examples of all
such materials for the packaging indus-
try. In addition, packaging related machi-
nery and automation equipment will be
center stage, to include injection mold-
ing and extrusion technologies that deli-
ver high-barrier end products, automatic
detection equipment, and multilayer film
technology.
Multifunctional plastics for electrical
& electronics products
: The electrical
and electronics industries are always
seeking higher-performance, lightweight
materials that offer excellent toughness
and mechanical strength, high tempera-
ture resistance and good insulating pro-
perties. As a result, engineering plastics
are becoming the material of choice for
this sector. With end users requesting
more from these products, the materials
chosen need to be multifunctional, to in-
clude antibacterial and self-cleaning pro-
perties, good resistance to heat and cold,
high elasticity, and even fingerprint resis-
tance. Visitors to the fair can expect to
find a full range of such multifunctional
polymers on display.
Environmentally friendly packaging is a global hot topic when talking about
sustainable development
