RadiciGroup, with its Specialty Chemicals and High Performance Polymers business areas, is taking part in Chinaplas 2023, a trade fair dedicated to the plastics and rubber sector.

The Chinese market is strategic for the Group, both for the expectations of strong business growth in the Asian area and for the possibility of developing innovative solutions to be made available on the global market.

"China leads the way in terms of e-mobility - comments Erico Spini, Global Marketing Director of RadiciGroup High Performance Polymers - Thanks to the collaboration with our local customers, we have expanded the range with products particularly suitable for this sector: in particular I refer to flame retardant materials that are usually used for applications that require high mechanical resistance over time, such as frames and battery housings, IGBT supports, bus bar, housings for electronic components and high voltage connectors. We have also collaborated in the development of wireless charging systems, making available our expertise in the selection and design of polyamide-based polymers. Furthermore – adds Spini – we are also working in China on some innovative solutions for the electromagnetic shielding of electric car components, we are testing solutions that we hope to be able to industrialize soon, with a view to making the know-how available to the whole Group acquired".

Sustainability is the framework in which the specialty chemicals business area also works, with a series of proposals ranging from the production of chemical intermediates starting from vegetable raw materials to polymers deriving partially or totally from bio sources.
