K was launched 70 years ago in Düsseldorf. Every three years, the who’s who of the international plastics and rubber industry comes together at this trade fair. This year, some 3,000 companies will participate. As one of the exhibitors, SWARCO Advanced Industry Systems will be showcasing an exciting product portfolio.
The first K in Düsseldorf took place in 1952, the year Queen Elizabeth II succeeded to the throne. Since then, the trade fair has evolved to become the most important information and business platform for the plastics and rubber industry. The mega-event held on the Rhine takes place every three years and in 2019 attracted over 220,000 visitors from nearly 170 different countries. This year, more than 3,000 HEPA filters will be in use in order to continuously purify the air and create optimal safety conditions for both visitors and exhibitors.
At this year’s K, SWARCO Advanced Industry Systems will focus on showcasing SWARCOFORCE filler beads. Glass filler beads are high-grade filling agents that contribute to improving the physical properties of plastics, resins, paints, varnishes, surface coatings and building materials. In addition, they impact the properties of the end product, such as rigidity and pressure resistance, warping and shrinking behaviour, fluidity, abrasion resistance, tensile strength, impact resistance, colour, scratch resistance, surface gloss, light diffusion, etc. SWARCO Advanced Industry Systems’ experts will also be presenting new products. Come by our stand to learn more!
You will find SWARCO Advanced Industry Systems at stand 5F30-09 in hall 5. Our informational material will also be available at the Grolman stand, adding a publicly visible component to the fruitful cooperation between the two partners.
