From 1 to 5 April, RadiciGroup, represented by US-based Radici Plastics USA Inc, will be in Orlando, Florida, USA, at NPE2012, the most important plastics showcase worldwide. At NPE, RadiciGroup Plastics Business Area will present its product portfolio. Spotlight on:
RADILON® A HHR (HIGH HEAT RESISTANT): PA66 engineering plastics with exceptional heat resistance to aging in air at temperatures of up to 210°C.
RADILON® D: PA610 engineering plastics, 60% made of biological polymers, for injection molding and extrusion.
RADILON® A RV500 RW 339 and RADILON® S URV: PA6 and PA66 engineering plastics for use as metal and thermosetting material replacements.
RADILON® A RV300 HRG 3900 NER and RADILON® A GF300 RKC NER: glycol-resistant PA66 engineering plastics.
Other products at the trade show:
RADIFLAM® S, RADIFLAM® A and RADIFLAM® B: flame-retardant PA6, PA66 and PBT products for injection molding and extrusion.
HERAFLEX® E: thermoplastic elastomers (TPC-ET) for injection molding.
"NPE is an important trade show for us," said Danilo Micheletti, RadiciGroup Chief Operating Officer for North America, South America and China. "It is an event of international significance and the major plastics industry exhibition in the Western hemisphere. The North American market, where RadiciGroup Plastics USA has had production and sales units since 1998, registers annual plastics sales of about USD 400 billion and is a commercial meeting ground for the South American, European and Asian segments. During 2011 our Group enlarged and renewed its product range for the United States, focusing particularly on products targeted at the automotive industry, which is our number one market. Our sales last year confirmed the 25% growth forecast. For the coming three years, growth is estimated to remain above the market average. Against the background of a general slowdown in the global economy, our performance in the US market can be considered more than satisfactory. Unlike the European automotive market, where there is a negative growth trend, the American market is getting stronger, which – with a note of caution – is a reason for hope."
"With over 250 automotive source approvals, high-level European technology and a very good presence in the local American and Japanese automotive markets," Micheletti continued, "today we are part of the world supplier pool for the automotive industry. This is a market where there is ample room for growth in polyamide components and increasing demand for materials with a smaller environmental footprint. At the NPE show we are focusing on some of the leading products in our Radilon® range, which is made up of PA6, PA66 and PA610 engineering plastics combining high performance and reduced environmental impact. They are the right solution for the manufacture of difficult-to-engineer parts like under-the-hood components and for the replacement of metals or, as in the case of Radilon® PA610, the replacement of high environmental impact plastics used in applications such as pneumatic conduits, brake lines and fuel lines, to mention just a few. We are also focusing on the Radiflam® nylon and PBT flame-retardant product lines that we have recently expanded to include automotive applications we did not previously target."
