At Chinaplas 2026 in Shanghai, RadiciGroup High Performance Polymers is presenting materials designed for applications with high technical requirements. The company emphasizes that the event is part of its long-term commitment to the Chinese market, which remains one of the most dynamic industrial markets in the world. At booth D42 in hall 7.2, the group is showcasing its current portfolio of engineering polymers, with a focus on solutions aligned with the circular economy. The offering is aimed primarily at the automotive, e-mobility, electrical and electronics sectors, as well as industrial applications and consumer goods. The company also notes that it has been developing its presence in China for 20 years, based on its manufacturing centre in Suzhou. The 36,000 m² facility holds LEED Gold certification and is intended to enable rapid response to market needs, development of products tailored to local requirements, and close cooperation with customers.
During the exhibition, RadiciGroup is presenting the Radilon, Radiflam, Raditeck, Raditer, Renycle and Bionside material families. According to the company, these are product groups used in applications requiring high performance and designed to meet changing market requirements.
Material innovations at the exhibition
Among this year's novelties are solutions for e-mobility, including the low-migration flame-retardant polyamide families Radiflam HFL and AF. The company is also presenting new signal-orange materials, Radiflam KC HF and Raditer KC, which belongs to the high-CTI PBT family. Another new product is Radiflam Aestus T2, a flame-retardant PPA for high-temperature applications.
The portfolio is further complemented by Radilon D PA610 for extrusion, belonging to the Bionside family, the impact-modified PPS family Raditeck P ERV, and the laser-transparent PBT Raditer B RVE300LT 3908 BK.
Recycled feedstock and renewable raw materials
In the area of engineering polymers containing recycled feedstock, the group reports the continued expansion of the Renycle product range. Visitors can learn about applications in which recycled materials can replace virgin polymers in demanding uses, while providing environmental benefits and appropriate technical performance.
Renycle products are assessed using the LCA methodology, Life Cycle Assessment, which is used to analyse environmental impact across the entire life cycle, from the production of primary raw materials, through the compound production process, to its packaging.
In the area of renewable raw materials, RadiciGroup High Performance Polymers is showcasing bio-based Bionside polyamides, produced from renewable feedstock derived primarily from oil obtained from castor beans. The company is placing particular focus on PA610-based Radilon D, part of the Bionside family. This material is described as a solution with low moisture absorption, high chemical resistance and good dimensional stability, intended among others for automotive cooling systems and consumer goods.
Importance of the Chinese market
As Alberto Sessolo, country manager for China at RadiciGroup High Performance Polymers, stressed, "Our participation at Chinaplas reflects our commitment to going beyond the traditional role of a material supplier and serving as a trusted partner for our customers." He also added, "By leveraging our global expertise in sales, marketing, application development, technical service and R&D, we provide comprehensive support throughout the entire project lifecycle."
Throughout the exhibition, RadiciGroup experts are present at the booth and are holding discussions with visitors on new material solutions and potential cooperation in future projects.
