Ticona FAIRTALKS at plastics and rubber trade fair

Ticona engineering polymers to highlight the future growth areas of Power, Safety and Life at the upcoming plastics and rubber trade fair K 2007, the largest in the world.

In a few days, the world’s largest international trade fair for plastics and rubber, K 2007, will kick off in Düsseldorf, Germany. Visit Ticona at the FAIRTALKS information breakfast at K 2007.

At the Ticona booth, they will be highlighting the future growth areas of “Power”, “Safety” and “Life”. From applications as diverse as fuel cells, cookware, high intensity LED lighting, sensors and the latest medical device breakthroughs, our engineering polymers can perform remarkable service for people, companies and the environment.

Our “People” section focuses on “Creating Progress Together”, because none of us are in this alone. We need to capitalize on the individual strengths of our material experts, in conjunction with innovative designers, and OEM visionaries.

But that is not all. At the plastics and rubber show, Ticona will be showcasing new products, including Celcon* / Hostaform* acetal copolymer (POM) with Anti-Crobe* antimicrobial protection, metallic effect polymers, and the new Celstran* unidirectional fiber reinforced tapes.

Ticona FAIRTALKS topics will be presented at the Ticona booth
(hall 6, stand A 07 / B 07) and will include:

Thursday, October 25, 2007, 9:15 am – 10:00 am:
POM – the success story continues.
For over forty years, Hostaform POM has been the workhorse engineering polymer. Now we introduce two new special grades. One with brilliant molded-in metallic effects and another that resists bacterial growth.

Friday, October 26, 2007, 9:15 am – 10:00 am:
Celstran* composites – capturing new markets!
Celstran composites offer the performance properties designers have only dreamed of, until now. A wide range of resins, fibers and additives are available for long-fiber and continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics.

Monday, October 29, 2007, 9:15 am – 10:00 am:
Vectra* LCP – for lights of the future.
Vectra LCP is the material for high-brightness LED housings. It withstands the high temperatures required in lead-free soldering operations, has negligible outgassing and produces complex geometries to tight tolerances.

Monday, October 29, 2007, 6:00 pm start:
Evening event - Fair party in Ticona booth, hall 6, on stand A 07 / B 07

Sunday, October 28, 2007, VDI stand, hall 2 / D 5, all-day event
VDI** school students forum (sponsored by Ticona and others)
“School students of today – movers and shakers of tomorrow!”
** Association of German Engineers

Ticona looks forward to talking with you at the informative K 2007 plastics and rubber exhibition!
