PLASTICS Releases New Safety Standard For Plastic Sheet and Film Machinery 

Thanks to improved properties, plastics crosslinked by irradiation are increasingly offering an economic alternative to high-performance thermoplastics. Dr. Andreas Ostrowicki and Uwe Stenglin have been involved with this process since the very beginning and speak here about rapidly developed applications, promising ideas and how mid-size companies can keep up with the chemistry giants.

Crosslinked Plastics: A Radiant Future for Materials Properties 

On March 19 and 20, 2014, the Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) is presenting another International Colloquium of Plastics Technology. With the slogan “Nachwuchs, Netzwerk, Innovationen” (New Generation, Network, Innovations), the research crucible is presenting its entire portfolio. Visitors can look forward to a revised event concept with top-class talks and innovative processing techniques.

Plastics Technology Colloquium: The Plastics Technology Olympic Games 

Georg Menshen GmbH & Co. KG, Finnentrop, Germany, presented new closure solutions at interpack 2014. Since an assembly step is eliminated, a one-part flip-top cap for use with detergents and cleaning agents offers a less expensive ­alternative to the push-pull closures that have predominantly been used here in the past, but is still reminiscent to a push-pull closure in design. Moreover, the ­reduced material consumption conserves resources and the environment.

Falling industrial production, lack of public investment, cash flow problems for small and medium-sized enterprises, rising unemployment, especially among young people, restraint in private consumption – the omens ahead of the Plast plastics trade fair in Milan in early May look anything but good. Yet, there are signs of green shoots, at least in the plastics industry.

A Country Running to Stand Still 

The processing of plastics with outstanding chemical or mechanical properties presents a major challenge to processors. Weiss Kunststoffverarbeitung GmbH & Co. KG, Illertissen, Germany, specializes in the processing of such materials, for example for applications in the engine compartment, in the body structure of cars, in the chassis of commercial vehicles or (as sensor housings) in truck tires. Metals are frequently substituted and additional functions are integrated into the plastic parts. At its fair booth, Weiss Kunststoffverarbeitung will be demonstrating i. a. a sensor housing for truck tire pressure control systems that is produced in large quantities by 2C injection molding with injected TPE seal (Fig.), as well as automotive components such as brake servo housings made from a glassfiber-reinforced polyamide that as a highly viscous material makes high demands on the process control.

Sophisticated Parts of High-Performance Materials 

Milacron Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, as a provider of integrated solutions, is bundling different activities in a variety of plastics processing disciplines under one roof. Products and systems from Mold-Masters, DME, Tirad and Cimcool will therefore also be on show on the fair stand alongside Milacron injection molding machines. The company is also pursuing the solution-oriented combination of different technologies in the manufacturing cells being demonstrated on Lake Constance. 1C Razors will be produced on one side of a combined 1C and 2C mold, while 2C razors are produced on the other side – all in one cell. An integrated, fully automated robot system removes or repositions the parts. A Ferromatik F120 is used here that with its vast array of options has been specially adapted to the demands of this application.

Fair Takes Place from 13 to 16 April 2021  

Due to a government order the Chinaplas will not be able to take place in August 2020 after all. The fair will be postponed again, although the venue will also change. 

The Chinaplas 2020 was already postponed in February from April 2020 to August 3-6, 2020. Due to the worldwide developments regarding the Corona Pandemic, the fair has now been postponed to next year. It will take place from 13 to 16 April 2021. 

The renewed change of date is due to an order of the Chinese government which bans all trade fair events for the time being, Chinaplas organiser Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. announced. 

In addition to the change of date, Chinaplas will also be moved from its original venue, the Convention Center in Shanghai, to the World Exhibition and Convention Center in Shenzhen. Shenzhen is considered an important production and R&D center for the Greater Bay Area in China. 

Adsale will do everything in its power to help all exhibitors, partners and visitors to minimise the disadvantages caused by the postponement.
