Myanmar Plas Print Pack Exhibition has been the best platform for plastic, rubber, packing and printing industry in Myanmar. Many of the world’s well-known brands are trying to enter this golden market since Myanmar opens up its economy.
 

Myanmar has the population of 56.3 million people, with GDP of US$ 59 billion and US$1,400 per capita. Overall economic growth rate comes in at 8.3%. The world has starting to see Myanmar as the last piece of pure land in Southeast Asia due to its outstanding economic status and the democratic revolution in 2011.
 

Myanmar's economy is built on agriculture exportation which is 37.1% of their GDP, but agriculture in the country still runs on traditional machinery. Under the circumstances, outstanding machines for farming from Taiwan stands a good chance to help improve the farming productivity and the quality of their crop. Manufacturing industry takes up 21.3% of Myanmar's GDP. The demand for manufacturing instrument can be fulfilled by Taiwan due to its excellent machinery manufacturing. As for the service industry which covers 41.6% of Myanmar’s GDP has unlocked the potential market for building material related industries.

Now in its fourth year, AMI’s Conductive Plastics conference is established as the place to learn about the latest developments in the formulation, processing and application of electrically and thermally conductive thermoplastics. Taking place at the Austria Trend Savoyen Hotel on 5-6 November 2019, this high level international event draws an audience that includes OEM engineers, product designers, processors, compounders and additive producers.

The need for electrically and thermally conductive plastics has never been greater. New electrical and electronic applications in fast growing sectors such as lighting, electric vehicles and wireless communication — together with increasingly stringent ATEX regulation of products intended for use in explosion-risk environments — are placing additional demands on polymeric materials. EMI shielding, ESD protection and thermal management are rising up the agenda as manufacturers look for lighter and more cost-effective polymer-based alternatives to metals.

The technology and materials exist to lift electrical and thermal conductivity of plastics to the levels required to meet many of these new applications. However, the development and processing of such materials is not straightforward, and special design considerations are required. Conductive Plastics 2019 will explore the wide range of additive technologies available to developers of electrical and/or thermally conductive plastic compounds. Expert presentations will explain how to optimise the design and production of conductive plastics components and address the critical influence of processing on the properties of finished parts.

Conductive Plastics 2019 will provide insight into existing and emerging applications for conductive plastics. Speakers will explore design issues and explain how the production flexibility, competitive cost and light weight of these novel custom materials are meeting the requirements of end users and creating new opportunities for compounders, processors and designers.
