will be gathered together in Hall 2H. Even with NECC’s larger capacity, Adsale says stands for Chinaplas 2018 were oversubscribed. That prompted the launch of the Young Tech Hall, which will gather together 350 new exhibitors from diverse fields. A series of conferences and events at Chinaplas 2018 will cover a number of important industry themes: Industry 4.0, Tech Talk, Medical Plastics Connect and CMF Inspiration for Design x Innova- tion. In addition, more than 80 technical seminars will cover materials and technology in automotive, E&E and other sectors.
Clariant will be using the power of augmented reality to allow visitors to its stand at the show to see how its products can be used in future electric vehicles (EVs). Weight reduction targets, for example, can be met using its Hydrocerol foaming agents. These can deliver weight savings of up to 20%, together with shorter production cycles, in parts such as running boards. The company says the aesthetics of interior TPO
parts can be maintained for longer using its Addworks ATR 146 heat and light shielding
additive, which meets the demanding fogging and VOC limits of the automotive industry. And fire safety can be enhanced using its Exolit OP 1400 non-halogenated phosphinate based flame retardant. This is said to provide good processing stability at low dosage levels in polyamides used in electrical and structural parts. It is suitable for applications in hot and humid environments. Clariant’s automotive EV collection will be completed by its PV Fast Orange colorants, part of a range of low halogen pigments suitable for use in EV charging cables, charging stations and connec- tors, where they deliver good resistance to weath- ering and heat. �

Coperion will be promoting its new Smart Com- pounding Line concept, a range of pre-configured compounding lines optimised for specific plastics applications – such as alloying or incorporation of flame retardants, fibre or mineral reinforcements – and focused on the needs of the Asian market. With throughputs of up to 1,000 kg/h, each comprises raw material handling, feeders, extrud- ers, pelletisers, conveying and bagging compo- nents all sourced from the Coperion or Coperion K-Tron product line. At the heart of the Smart lines is the company’s extruder, an example of which will be
STS Mc11
shown configured for masterbatch production. The STS 35 Mc11 Nm/cm3
machine provides a torque of 11.3 and screw speeds of up to 900 rpm and
incorporates a number of new developments to improve handling and cleaning. These include a redesigned base frame with integrated water manifolds and wiring connections and a new easy-clean insulation cover arrangement that offers better access to the processing section. Barrel
