CEP Car 2013 will celebrate the days 14 and 15 May, will gather to the main companies of the sector of the automotive sector.

CEP Car 2013 will take place during the days 14 and 15 May 2013. The evento will gather to the main companies of the sector, with conferences of high technical level, in where it will be able to know the tendencies of the plastics applied to the automotive sector.

Viviana Avendaño pertaining to the company Allod Werkstoff GmbH & Co. KG will offer the conference 'New range of TPE (thermoplastic elastomers) for processes of cromado selective – potential in automotive sector'. Avendaño Will centre in how up to now the galvanised of plastic pieces realised with hard and soft materials alone could realise through a costly process and technologically demanding that consisted of several stages. A material developed recently and his processing offer clear advantages on the state of the technician. The first applications in pieces of interior of automotive sector have gone out already to the market and in evento that are llevar in Germany with the OEM opens a new perspective of applications in the sector.

Andreas Wuest of the company Basf Spanish S.L. It will present the conference 'Optimisation of design for structural pieces'. The new rules of the sector automotive sector demand increasingly a limitation in the broadcasts of CO₂ to the atmosphere, by what the reduction of the weight of the vehicle like one of the roads for the decrease of the consumption of fuel is more than ever one of the main 'drivers' of the sector. The replacement of structural metallic pieces by plastic and the optimisation of current designs by new newer and more optimised to lighten weight, are the proposals that offers Basf through his new system of design and calculation 'Ultrasim', that beside the range of thermoplastic products of the company are the best ally to face the demanding present challenges and futures.

Javier Martínez Cue represents to the company FPK Lightweight Technologies, and will speak of the 'light Solutions for the industry automotriz, compound materials advanced and technologies'. The integration of new technologies in appearances so important like the aligeramiento of pieces in the automotive sector is one of the big challenges of the sector and in where FPK offers interesting solutions for the improvement of current provision like the attained with the utilisation of long fibres; whose approach will be the comparative to mechanical level (essays of crash or sled), and others to future in phase of investigation like the factibilidad and incorporation of new materials: fibres of carbon, nanocomposites.

The lecturer Juan Ruíz by part of the company plastics Europe, will inform on the 'Automotive sector. The plastics move the world'. It explains: “Our presentation will be on the importance that have the plastics and the profits that contribute in the sector of the automotive sector. We will contribute evidences and examples of the different applications of the plastics in this sector. In addition to providing statistical data of the use of the plastics in the trucks and the saving in resultant weight, the presentation also will centre in the hygiene of the vehicles, the innovation, the freedom of design, the confort and the future of the mobility - all thanks to the use of the plastics”.
