Summary & Highlights
How about the application of plastics in the automobile sector? What challenges are faced by plastic materials
arising from high performance automobile trimming products? What new progress has been made in the
application of high molecular materials in trimming products? What are the applications of non-continuous carbon
fiber reinforced composite materials and woven composite materials in automobile? At the 3rd
CPRJ Auto
Conference ―Plastics in Automotive 2013‖ held on 14-15, experts from automakers and auto part manufacturers,
material and equipment suppliers, high education institutes shared their insights on the applications of plastic
materials in the auto industry. This forum was organized by Adsale ―China Plastics and Rubber Journal‖ (CPRJ) in
collaboration with Great Wall Motor Company Limited. Han Lei, Vice Secretary General of the Society of Automotive Engineers of China (SAE China), delivered his
speech at the forum. While experiencing an optimistic general trend, as he indicated in his speech, the auto
industry is witnessing increasingly fierce competition and domestic brands are faced with substantial impact from
foreign brands. In addition to the substantial change in market and users’ needs, automobile enterprises should
change mindset and promote innovation. With the intensification of the plastics-for-steel conception and people’s
growing requirements for safety, environmental protection, attractive appearance and comfort, the application of
plastics in automobile is attracting unprecedented attention. According to Yang Jie, Vice President of Automotive
Material Engineering Institute of Great Wall Motor Technical Center, China’s auto industry is experiencing a
booming growth. To seek higher energy efficiency, higher quality and higher safety, Great Wall Motor will leverage
this platform and cooperate with industrial associations, experts, material suppliers and high education institutes
to promote the development of this industry. Meanwhile, Janet Tong, Deputy General Manager of Adsale
Publishing Ltd., extended her appreciation to all those attending the forum on behalf of the organizer, and
explained why they selected Baoding to hold this forum. She also emphasized the aim of the forum was to
promote exchange of ideas and share research findings for mutual benefits. In addition, she highlighted some
information about CHINAPLAS 2014.
In the morning of the 14th, Song Yanling, Vice Section Director of Great Wall Motor Automotive Material
Engineering Institute, delivered her speech titled ―Application of Automotive Plastic Material and Raw Material
Control‖. In her speech, she outlined the applications of plastic materials in several automobile enterprises and
highlighted the application of various types of materials in Great Wall Motor. In the last session, Director Song
highlighted the mode of Great Wall Motor to manage and control plastic materials. Cao Du, Vice President of
Chana Motor Automobile Research Institute, delivered his speech titled ―Challenges on Materials in Performance
Design of Automotive Trimming Products‖. In his speech, he outlined key performances, regulations, functional
and performance requirements, reliability/durability requirements, environmental test requirements and relevant
countermeasures for auto parts. Professor Wang Yizao, President of Composite Material Research Institute of
Tianjin University, delivered his speech titled ―Research on Noncontinuous Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composite
Material and Relevant Applications‖. He made comparison for several typical composite materials, cited some
products from some material suppliers; with the constant maturity of technology and process, as he emphasized,
non-continuous carbon fiber reinforced composite materials are expected to become mainstream materials for
the auto industry. In their speech titled ―Application of PPS in Auto Parts‖, Ms. Peng Lizhen and Mr. Feng Hui
from the Engineering Plastics Dept of Chevron Phillips Hong Kong Limited introduced the properties of Ryton
PPS, the firstmass-produced high-performance thermoplastic engineering plastic in the world. Thanks to the
features of PPS resin in addition to the blending of fiberglass and inorganic fillers, this material becomes a special
engineering plastic with improved performance and processibility.

Senior Engineer of Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center, delivered his speech titled ―Manifold – Assembly of
Nonmetal Materials for Auto Engine‖; Li Litao, Manager of Chinaust Group Hebei, the largest automotive pipeline
manufacturer in China, delivered his speech titled ―Solution to Plastic Pipeline for Automotive Fluid‖.
The one-day conference witnessed an overall enthusiasm and received extensive questioning from the
audience. Supplier Exhibition Booth also received extensive inquiry.
After the conclusion of the conference on the 14th, the Organizer received about 100 responses to ―Attendee
Questionnaire‖. Respondents speak highly of the services during the conference. Besides, it is generally believed
the contents of the presentations by the speakers match with the theme of the conference and each speaker
chose the most suitable topics for their presentations. On the other hand, some speakers put forward some
relevant recommendations for the conference. They wish the Organizer would organize more enterprises to
participate, attach greater importance to new technology, new processes and new materials, extend the time for
exchange. They also wish raw material enterprises would use more cases to illustrate their new materials and
new technology.
On the 15th, about 45 invitees visited Great Wall Motor Xushui Exhibition Hall and Production Line.
