Exhibition tour

WACKER
: International Plastics and Rubber Expo 2013 (2013.
10.
16~2013.
10.
23 Düsseldorf, Germany)
Highlights: ELASTOSIL high-purity silicone precision films and GENIOPLAST.

The high-purity silicone precision film is made entirely of silicone elastomeric body with a thickness of more than
20 microns.
The product further expands the range of applications for silicones to realize new product ideas and solutions, such as functional diaphragms, wound tapes, sensors, as well as actuators and generators based on electroactive
polymers.

GENIOPLAST?Pellet P plus is a highly concentrated silicone additive in granular form for mixing and processing thermoplastics, which improves processing efficiency, reduces processing costs and makes the finished surface extremely smooth and easy to clean
by improving the viscosity and fluidity of plastic blends.
As a plastic auxiliary, the product can be used in direct contact with food, so it is suitable for food contact plastics
in kitchens, packaging and other fields.
In addition, it can be blended with any thermoplastic, eliminating the need for different types of masterbatches
that match the corresponding thermoplastic.


SABIC Exhibition: Beijing International Aviation
Exhibition 2013 (2013.
9.
25~2013.
9.
28 Beijing, China)
Highlights: High-performance thermoplastic solutions
for aviation THERMOCOMPTM EC008PXQ composites are carbon-filled materials based on ULTEMTM polyetherimide resin technology, with excellent stiffness and flowability, enabling high-performance, thin-walled molded parts to replace aerospace-grade die-cast aluminum in structural components, as well as structural support, handrails, footrests and kitchens
.

ULTEM foam is a hard open-cell core material, 10~20 times lighter than traditional plastic parts, and can be used as an excellent core material for composite applications
requiring noise control, low moisture absorption, high heat, and coexistence with thermosetting and metal laminates.

The new ultra-low gloss LEXAN XHR 6005 sheet has velvety texture aesthetics after thermomolding for interior applications; The new LEXAN XHR A13 film increases the robustness of multi-laminated composite structures in decorative interior applications; The LEXAN XHR 6000 sheet series has an extremely low heat release rate, significantly reducing weight by 12% compared to conventional products, resulting in improved fuel economy; Designed for multi-layer window frame systems requiring high flame toxicity and opacity, LEXAN XHR 5000 sheet not only meets demanding safety requirements, but also has a high-quality appearance and enhanced shading properties to help improve cabin environmental comfort

BASF
Exhibition: High-Speed Rail Conference & Product Showcase 2013 (2013.
9.
26~2013.
9.
27 Shanghai, China)
Highlights: Innovative solutions
for the high-speed rail industry New concepts for railway vehicle seats, textile coatings, window sealants and structural adhesives: Elastoflex® W multi-purpose polyurethane elastic foam can be used to produce railway vehicle seat cushions, headrests and armrests that are not only lightweight and soft, but also maintain good mechanical properties in a wide range of climatic environments, especially in terms of vehicle damping and noise reduction, which can significantly improve the comfort of railway vehicles
.
Textiles treated with Lurapretöt textile coatings are comfortable, stain resistant, abrasion-resistant, flame retardant and shading
.
BASF also offers a range of specialty polyurethane materials, including easy-to-process, UV-resistant elastomers for window seals and Elastan?low-temperature resistant structural adhesives
.

Polyurethane composite solutions for the manufacture of lightweight railway vehicles: BASF showcased Elastoflex paper honeycomb technology for interior floors and walls, and lightweight, high-strength and high-rigidity Elastoflex long-fiber injection technology for exterior roofs
.

Special foams and damping materials: Thanks to good sound absorption, heat retention and flame retardant properties, Basot? Acoustic foam is mainly used in railway vehicles for sound insulation of interior walls, roofs and aluminum air ducts
.
The new damping material Aguli waterborne acrylic emulsion has excellent noise reduction performance at both high and low temperatures and does not contain chemical solvents
.

In addition, BASF exhibited coating systems, additives and pigments for interior and exterior railway vehicles as well as high-performance solutions
for railway vehicle powertrains.
