Chemtura, which is a US based company and a leading global supplier of Antioxidants, also took this opportunity to present their product range including intermediates & inhibitors, coupling agents, impact modifiers and UV stabilizer solutions. Chemtura also showcased their latest greener brominated flame retardant under the EMERALD series replacing the Decabromodiphenyl ether, Decabromodiphenyl ethane or other flame retardants currently used in the PS,PP,PE and thermoplastics/thermoset polyester resin systems.
Our established partners for the rubber industry, Tokuyama, OSC and Sin Rubtech, also participated as co-exhibitors. Tokuyama continued to showcase their precipitated silica under the brand name TOKUSIL which is well-known in the Malaysian market for white filler and used widely in the tyre, rethread, footwear, roller and condom applications. OSC showcased their Factice (VVO) range of products used in erasers and other applications while Sin Rubtech displayed their Polymer Bound Predispersed Chemicals (PBPCs) which have gained prominence in the Malaysian rubber industry.
The response throughout the four days exhibition was very encouraging and we had a lot of inquiries from both local and overseas customers with some of these even being converted into firm orders during the trade fair itself. As a result of our success at the show we will certainly be giving serious consideration to participating again in the next M-PLAS which is scheduled to be held either in 2013 or 2014.
