The Mexican plastics industry achieved a 10% industry growth in 2011, with industry sales exceeding 20 billion U.S. dollars. This figure includes processed products, resins and production equipment.

According to Eduardo Martínez Hernández, chairman of the Mexican Plastics Industry Association (Anipac), this growth trend will continue in 2012, but he is unwilling to predict specific growth figures.

According to Anipac, the Mexican plastics industry has maintained steady growth. According to Martínez's understanding, Mexico's plastics industry only experienced a recession in 1995, after the government mistakenly devalued the peso and triggered an economic crisis throughout Latin America.

This plastics industry manager found a puzzling thing, that is, in this context, the plastics industry has spent a lot of time and energy trying to convince the government that the plastics industry is an industry that deserves encouragement and financial support.

In an interview on January 20, Martínez said: "For example, the government has not encouraged the Mexican plastics industry to develop the market for production materials. If such a policy is introduced, the development of the Mexican plastics industry will definitely be much faster than it is now. Even Taiwan Island, which is only 245 miles long, has more presses than ours."

He added, “Plastics has never been regarded as an important industry by the government. From a political perspective, we have not received the attention we deserve.”

Martínez said at a press conference that the plastics industry, composed of nearly 4,200 processing companies, has increased its share of Mexico’s GNP from 1% in 2003 to 3% today.

He said that the automobile industry is the largest target market for the Mexican plastics industry, bringing in sales revenue of 4 billion U.S. dollars in 2011 (accounting for 20% of the industry’s total sales).

Do you know what an omnidirectional conductive sponge is?

The omnidirectional conductive sponge is a conductive metal plating process based on the sponge. The back of the conductive sponge uses a conductive cloth as the substrate to combine the conductive adhesive with the sponge material, thereby achieving an omnidirectional conductive effect. It uses electroplating on the surface of the sponge to ensure good electrical conductivity, and the outermost nickel layer also increases the corrosion resistance of the material.

Do you know the relationship between conductive cloth tape and conductive cloth?

Conductive cloth adhesive tape is also a kind of adhesive tape made of conductive cloth. Its characteristics are the addition of "glue" characteristics to the conductive cloth, and its important characteristics can be referred to the term "conductive cloth". The "glue" that is commonly desired in the industry is conductive glue, which has a "nickel" component, in order to provide a magnetic shielding effect. However, there are also ordinary acrylic or hot melt adhesives that do not require conductive adhesive, in order to make the conductive cloth have good adhesion.

Where are conductive sponges widely used?

Conductive sponge is a material that mainly uses flame retardant sponge as the base material during the production process; An electronic material made by wrapping a layer of conductive cloth on the surface of the sponge and using a special process.

Are plastic products safe? Can they be heated and used?

Plastic products can be seen everywhere in daily life, but like Ms. Wang, many citizens know very little about the basic knowledge of plastic products. The author interviewed 20 citizens in a number of supermarkets and residential communities and found that 80% of the citizens often use plastic products in their lives, but they do not know how to use plastic materials and how to be safe.

The U.S. plastics processing industry is in a good situation with more optimism

Troy Nix, executive director of MAPP, said that the plastics manufacturing industry has officially recovered from the recession and is moving steadily towards exceeding the pre-recession sales level.
