Triennial event, Interplas, celebrates 75 years

Interplas, is the UK's definitive and leading plastics event and brings together the full range of technologies, materials, processes from across the plastics sector.

Celebrating 75 years of Interplas, the 2023 edition will see over 500 exhibitors present solutions, products, machines and ideas from across the entire spectrum of moulding and forming as well as materials, automation, contract manufacturing and supporting technologies including software, testing, inspection, surface treatments and much more.

Over 12,000 attendees, predominantly from the UK manufacturing community will attend to discover solutions to their challenges, to make connections and source the latest technologies and innovations.

Alongside the show floor a world class Interplas Insights conference programme will take place encompassing a wide range of current themes important to the plastics industry. With over 40 sessions and 70+ speakers scheduled to present, the conference promises to deliver a captivating line up of sessions that will empower visitors with the latest insights through thought provoking presentations and dynamic panels.

Highlights from this year’s agenda include:

Digitalisation for Sustainable Manufacturing:

• The Importance of Industry 4.0 in the UK Plastics Industry to Jaguar Land Rover

• Achieving Sustainable Plastic Products with DataDriven All-Electric Injection Moulding – Bloom in Box

The Road to Net Zero & A Circular Economy:

• What the Industry is Doing to Tackle Plastic Pollution – Plastic Bank

• Top Tips for Plastics Processors to Achieve Net Zero –Tangram Technology

The Future of UK Plastics:

• The Big Debate: Reshoring and Contract Manufacturing – Panel in association with British Plastics & Rubber Magazine

• Innovations Changing the Polymer Sector – Panel in association with UK Circular Plastics Network & Innovate UK KTN

The Introducing Stage will complement the Interplas Insights Conference, providing further specialist insights into the future of plastics technology as well as technical know-how. There will be a wide variety of subjects covered from moulding and forming, materials, automation, software, testing, inspection, and more.

Throughout the event, attendees will get the unique opportunity to meet with influential speakers in an initiate and collaborative setting. To enhance the on-site networking, the official event app will have the ability to offer personal recommendations using an AI powered matchmaking algorithm. In addition to this will be a dedicated networking area next to the conference theatre.

Advanced corrosion protection for automation and engineering industries

Corrosion is a serious problem for industry and governments worldwide. Corrosion costs both private and public sectors vast amounts of money to repair or replace mechanical, electrical and electronics components.

Failures caused by corrosion can range from being an annoyance to being catastrophic and failure of a component could affect the entire system. While all metals corrode, due to various reasons, there is no simple or single solution to the overall corrosion problem. However, there are some proven ways to prevent corrosion and failures caused by corrosion, thereby reducing or eliminating associated costs and increasing safety.

A vast amount of the annual cost of corrosion can be saved by using SuperCORR A corrosion inhibitor, which was specifically designed to lubricate and prevent corrosion in electrical fittings and connectors, electrical harness assemblies, electrical and electronic switches, close tolerance and dissimilar metal components, lighting connectors and sockets. It is a nonflammable “self-healing” ultra-thin film lubricant with a proprietary corrosion preventive compound that will not harden or crack.

SuperCORR A is a unique and proprietary formulation with longlasting, anti-corrosion inhibitors providing a superior lubrication coefficient and protection against moisture, wear, general and fretting corrosion, static electricity, corona, and other electro migration problems. The non-flammable film is only 7 microns (0.007mm) in thickness, is not a wax or oil-based product and is formulated without sulphates, chlorides, petroleum-based material, or halogens, to meet the EU RoHS directive. It is unexcelled in preventing failures caused by corrosion.

Efficient And Economical

• Extremely long-lasting, specially formulated and proprietary anticorrosive inhibitor.

• Eliminates premature failure of components created by moisture, general or fretting corrosion.

• Prevents deterioration and contamination on all surfaces of electronic and electrical equipment and mechanical close tolerance moving components.

• Reliability increased, maintenance intervals increased and costs reduced, manufacturers save costly warranty service calls or product re-call.

Approved

• Industry approval from: NASA, Boeing Aircraft, Bombardier, Embraer, Lear, Gulfstream, Hawker-Beechcraft, Cessna, Raytheon, Polish Airforce, Northrop-Grumman, Royal Navy and Royal Norwegian Air Force.

• Exceeds Mil C 81309 Corrosion Prevention Compounds.

• Approved in US Tri-Service Corrosion Manuals.
