The "Application Seminar Hui" has launched 10 application themed forums, targeting over 60 hot topics such as optoelectronic cables, low-carbon energy, medical sterilization packaging, prefabricated vegetable packaging, automotive safety and environmental protection, and discussing the development trends and technological prospects of the application industry, broadening the perspective of rubber and plastic applications for industry professionals.

New Power | Focusing on Four Major Directions, Strong Exhibitors Show off Their Muscles

Circular economy, innovative materials, digitalization and intelligent manufacturing, and high-end technology made in China are not only important development trends in the current industry, but also the focus of this exhibition. Adhering to these four major directions, the exhibition collaborates with strong exhibitors to actively present innovative technologies that are hot and hot, becoming a vivid demonstration of the upgrading of the rubber and plastic industry and the development of new quality productivity. It also accumulates strength to promote upstream and downstream collaborative innovation and accelerate the development of new quality productivity.

The continuous innovation of materials is driving technological breakthroughs and upgrades in the application industry. More than 1500 raw material suppliers bring a massive amount of innovative materials. The world's first 3D printing PA12 powder based on biological recycling materials, non food bottle caps containing recyclable recycled PP plastics after use, inorganic antibacterial additives, graphene masterbatch, etc. are very eye-catching.

The digital economy is the main force empowering industries to improve quality and efficiency. In the areas of injection molding machinery and intelligent equipment, auxiliary equipment and testing instruments, 3D technology, etc., machine learning, artificial intelligence, mold monitoring, data image monitoring, visual inspection systems, fully servo automatic blow molding, system integration and collaborative robots, modular design systems, solutions for fully automatic interconnection of multiple production processes, in mold painting technology, new upgraded high-speed and strong stability robotic arms, highly integrated medical liquid transfer suction head turnkey solutions, electric injection molding machines, and more are eye-catching.

At the exhibition, there are both innovative technologies that come from crossing the sea, as well as unique skills brought by enterprises that have rooted themselves in the ground and worked hard. Among this year's exhibitors, over 800 have been awarded the title of "specialized, refined, unique, and new" enterprises, with over 250 being recognized as national "little giant" enterprises. Treasure exhibits such as second board intelligent injection molding machines, high-speed precision injection molding machines, and new 56 layer nanowinding film production lines are showcased on the world stage of "CHINAPLAS International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition", fully showcasing the charm of "Made in China with High end Technology".
