The recently concluded Chinaplas 2018 featured many innovative materials solutions for Asia’s dynamic industries.
The broad range of high-performance materials meet the present and future product development demands of the automotive, packaging, electronics and electrical sectors – all of which demand special properties in engineering thermoplastics.
Royal DSM, in its aim to meet the major global challenges, featured its latest innovations in high-performance engineering thermoplastics and Dyneema® at this exhibition, where it introduced its latest product development in the automotive and electronic industries.
In the automotive sector, DSM’s Connected Cars solutions is a reflection of the future of cars where all individual parts of the vehicle - under the hood, inside the passenger compartment, on the exterior – are connected via smart electronic devices integrated within an overall “intelligent” design. Connected Cars will drastically change the way people drive, just as smart phones have changed the way people communicate. All are becoming part of the Internet of Things (IoT). Apart from this, New Energy Car is yet another rising trend. Through developing HV component, E-motor and battery for New Energy Car, DSM aims to scale new heights in material technology for the automotive industry.
