The September Bangkok fair will showcase the hottest trends at the Innovation and Design Zone (IDZ), presenting the most innovative and cutting-edge design products from Thai entrepreneurs. This is a project of Thailand’s Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), Ministry of Commerce to support talented designers and business people in the international market place. “Emerging Thai designers, entrepreneurs and manufacturers, are aware of global trends in jewellery design, and each of the designers or entrepreneurs will adapt those trends to their pieces,” said Kornkamol Anekamai, director of the Thai Trade Center (TTC) in Milan. “And for brands it’s important to know about the trends and to keep their brand identity. Thus for Thai products you can find pieces that vary in terms of trends and you can find very unique pieces.” Leading European designers and industry leaders say the high quality of Thai jewelry craftsmanship reinforces their brands and strengthens their position in European markets. “Our Thai manufacturers are our main supplier. They are very good at selecting the best quality stones and at working on intricate designs and re-cut stones,” says Paris-based designer Lydia Courteille, who has a boutique on the Rue Saint-Honore in central Paris, near the famous Place Vendome high jewellery quarter. “They respect us in terms of what we ask for, and always try to do their best from an artistic point of view,” Lydia explained. “Whenever we open the delivery parcel, we fall in love with what they (Thai craftspeople) have completed.” Having established his eponymous luxury jewelry brand, celebrated Roman designer Alessio Boschi chose to settle in Bangkok, he said not only unparalleled access to talented jewelry artisans, but also for sourcing a wide variety of gemstones as his greatest passion. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=34831

The Polyplastics Group has announced the development of several new DURACON (R) polyoxymethylene (POM) grades which deliver high flow, high rigidity, and design freedom for the production of injection-molded automotive fuel system components. The new materials complement Polyplastics' flagship DURACON (R) POM portfolio which is already widely used for automotive fuel system components due to its excellent fuel resistance. (Images: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M100475/201906197708/_prw_PI1fl_92j2k2Tf.jpg) The company has commercially launched DURACON (R) H140-54C, a high-flow/high-rigidity grade with a melt flow rate (MFR) of around 14. This material suits a wide range of molding conditions (cylinder conditions, injection pressure) and is used in Europe. The aim of going to a more rigid material is to allow products to be made thinner. Meanwhile, the higher flow suppresses increases in peak pressure that occur during injection molding due to thin walling. DURACON (R) H140-54C facilitates the production of small, thin-wall parts. Polyplastics has also announced a developmental POM grade which provides exceptional acid resistance. Historically, one of POM's limitations has been its vulnerability to strong acids, but this new material provides significant improvements. The acid-resistant grade is targeted at a range of fuel system applications including ORVR valves, cut-off valves, and fuel pump module flange parts which are attached to the outside of fuel tanks. These parts can be damaged by the acidity in automotive cleaning liquids, acid rain, and other substances. Polyplastics has also developed an electrically conductive grade for use in components that surround fuel as a measure against static electricity. Typically, when resin is imparted with conductivity, it often affects certain performance characteristics, resulting in less flowability and toughness. However, this grade successfully imparts conductivity while also maintaining POM's key performance attributes, including flowability and toughness.

The Group's product portfolio includes POM, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC). With more than 50 years of experience, the company is backed by a strong global network of R&D, production, and sales resources.
