The injection moulders’ guide to


2016 Part 1: Materials


The world’s biggest plastics exhibition takes place next month in Dusseldorf in Germany – K2016 – and to help you get the most from the show we have lined up extensive coverage of some of the best that will be on display across the exhibition centre. Coverage begins this month with a look at the planned material


innovations. Over the following 10 pages we take a detailed look at the new introductions of interest specifi cally to injection moulders. Featured products range from new polymers and compounds to the latest masterbatch and printing ink introductions. Our in depth preview of the latest injection moulding machinery, process developments and ancillary equipment will be published next month in the October edition, which will be available ahead of the event itself. Make no mistake, K is a big show. The 2013 event included


3,220 exhibitors from close to 60 countries and drew in near 220,000 visitors (around 60% from outside of Germany). Total exhibition space amounted to 171,000m2


. The statistics for


K2016 will be similar so it is vital that visitors enter the showground with a plan. If you intend to attend but have not yet fi nalised your travel and accommodation arrangements it is not too late but you may want to take a look at the “First Look” article in our July/August edition, which includes weblinks to a whole range of useful resources. During the eight days of the show, editors from the Injection


World and AMI Magazines teams will be reporting on the most important news as it happens via our @PlasticsWorld feed on Twitter. If you want to stay in touch then join the 14,700 people already following our coverage (www.twitter.com/PlasticsWorld). We will also have a stand presence at the show on the Applied Market Information stand (Hall 7, Stand C11). Call in to fi nd out more about our portfolio of digital plastics magazines and apps and to contact members of the AMI Magazines team. It is also the place to learn more about our latest industry directories, market reports and international conferences. After the show, we will be reviewing the best of the new


introductions in our November/December and January/ February editions. We will also be reporting what we learn from some of the key plastics industry leaders. Enjoy your show.
