are 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

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
