For us, it\u2019s an important instrument for maintaining customer relations, acquiring new customers and exchanging information with business partners, students and institutes. Fakuma is distinguished in particular by its familiar flair, as well as minimal leg work at the event. It\u2019s the first port of call for the plastics processing industry after the K trade fair. Visitors have plenty of time to gather information about the latest R&D trends from the exhibitors, and to establish contacts. As opposed to the K trade fair, everything feels a lot less hectic. [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h4″ uncode_shortcode_id=”116144″]All Important Players Represented at Fakuma[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”667573″]The most important players in the field of plastics processing are all represented at Fakuma, from machine suppliers to peripherals manufacturers and raw materials vendors, right on up to institutes and networks. One of the event\u2019s big advantages is its size: Fakuma remains within a scope which allows visitors to attend the trade fair on one or two days and gather information without being entirely overwhelmed. The brightly lit exhibition halls are very pleasant.
\nEnvironment, the sustainability of plastics, bio-polymers, PCR materials, networking amongst production systems and optimisation of production processes in terms of energy are clearly among today\u2019s most important technology trends in the plastics industry. Plastics are highly beneficial in innumerable applications which would be inconceivable without them today. The perception of plastics by the general public has become quite negative. Plastic, which was highly praised as an emerging wonder material at the beginning of the 1950s, is no longer appreciated to the same extent today due to environmental problems.
\nThe great challenge of the future will be to focus on opportunities for reusing and recycling the plastics and composites which are brought into circulation already during the product development phase. Only those products which are optimally designed, engineered and produced \u2013 in terms of recyclability \u2013 will be good products in the future.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h4″ uncode_shortcode_id=”209485″]New Colour Masterbatches for Electromobility[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”133763″]At Deifel, we\u2019re currently developing a large number of colour masterbatches for PBT, PA66 and PA12 polymers, which are used in the field of electromobility. The special technical and mechanical demands placed on the finished components must also be met by the colour masterbatch. This is a considerable challenge for us but, thanks to our many years of experience, we can offer our customers good solutions. Beyond this, our R&D work is also focussed on the issue of colouration for bioplastics and PCR materials.
\nWe were one of the first masterbatch manufacturers in Germany to achieve climate neutrality in 2021, which means we\u2019ve reduced our carbon footprint considerably in recent years and can now compensate for our remaining CO2 emissions by supporting certified climate protection projects. This is an important initial step, which we of course also expect our raw material suppliers to take in the coming years so that we can offer CO2-neutral products.
