CHINAPLAS 2026: Harnessing the “15th Five-Year Plan” to Usher in a New Era of Plastics and Rubber Innovation
As China embarks on the first year of its “15th Five-Year Plan,” a dynamic blueprint for innovation and high-quality development in the plastics and rubber industries is set to unfold at CHINAPLAS 2026. “The Recommendations of the 15th Five-Year Plan” emphasizes cultivating emerging and future industries, expanding high-level openness, and advancing intelligent, green, and integrated development. These priorities provide fertile ground for the plastics and rubber industries and anchor the exhibition’s strategic focus.
Blow molding novelties at K 2025
Since the previous edition of the K Show in 2022, companies, focussing on designing and manufacturing of extrusion and injection blow molding machinery and special tooling had launched a lot of new developments. Many of these state-of-the-art novelties were demonstrated at the K 2025 Show that was held in Düsseldorf, Germany, October 8 - 15 2025.
PEEK & ULTEM: The Difference Between “Can Print” and “Prints Reliably”
When purchasing a 3D printer for high performance polymers, such as PEEK and ULTEM, there’s a very important distinction between “can print” and “prints reliably”. With a simple $5 80W heater cartridge and $10 RTD PT1000, any manufacturer can claim their 3D printer “can print PEEK and ULTEM”. The fact is, extruding these materials isn’t hard — mitigating warping/cracking, slowing crystallization, and achieving strong interlayer adhesion after extrusion is where these materials get their reputation as “difficult to print”.
