leading suppliers of 3D technology.
Thermoplastic Elastomers & Rubber Zone
With improved performance, TPE and si-
licone rubbers are not only having wider
applications but also high-end applicati-
on, whether as lightweight materials in
automotive, soft touch materials in elec-
tronic devices, or a safe alternative of
medical plastics etc. Asia-Pacific region
consumes around 45 percent of the glo-
bal TPE supply, and the demand is still
rising. In response to this market trend,
n CHINAPLAS, a technology-oriented
plastics and rubber trade fair, offers sus-
tainable manufacturing solutions for en-
terprises aiming at technological innova-
tion and upgrading. The next edition of
CHINAPLAS will move to the new Natio-
nal Exhibition and Convention Center
(NECC) in Shanghai – the largest single
block building and exhibition complex in
the world. With the new venue, it is ex-
pected that the exhibition area will in-
crease to 320,000 sq. meters, a 28 per-
cent growth compares with the last edi-
tion. About 4,000 domestics and inter-
national exhibitors will showcase 3,800+
sets of advanced machinery. It is antici-
pated that 150,000+ professional buyers
from 150 countries/ regions will visit the
fair.
