Plastics Industry Development Center

Plastics industry has long been an important manufacturing industry of our country.It becomes one of the key sources moving the economy forward by supporting key parts or peripheral parts for wide categories of industries,However, more than 98% of companies in the plastics industry are small to medium in size,and with the limited financial support and human resources quality,It's hard to develop,to test,and to improve the quality independently.With these in mind,Industrial Development Bureau of Ministry of Economic Affairs formed "Plastics Industry Development Center "under"Implementation methods for Technological Advancement of Traditional Industries Program". The perpose of the center is to assist plastics industry to enhance product quality,to improve production technologies,and to enhance the research and development capabilities to accelerate the plastics industry advancement.In 1992, the industry raised funds of more than 31 million NTD, and the government also contributed funds of 20 million NTD to set up preparatory office for establishment matters.

	We assist plastics-related industry to become more innovative,and to develop talents for international competition.We also invite domestic and national experts from industry and academic fields,and proactively host up-to-date technical seminars of various domain expertise.Moreover,we assist enterprises to promotenew products and new technologies, and to start its visibility and reach new customers. Examples:Everlight Chemical,Toshiba, Denka,Double Bond Chemical…etc. ● Recruitment ● Training ● Internal and External Training ● Professional Courses ● Professional Literatures Our professional experts provide effective solutions and consulting services. We also offer tailor-made courses for the SMEs in various industries. We have worked with companies including Ting Hsin International Group, DEPO AUTO PARTS IND.CO.,LTD, ECE, Taisun Enterprise Co. etc. We co-developed popular product “Handy bean” with well-known domestic design company, Duck Image, and received 2008 German iF Design Award and Taiwan 100 Design Award. For the reason that over 80% of nursing staffs have been punctured by needles during their medical career, and about 61% of the needles were used by patients, we developed butterfly ject(?????) with safe structure design in order to prevent medical hazard. The structure is easy enough for being used single handedly, and the design is medically safe and beneficial. ● Product modeling and mechanical design ● Mold design ● Stress analysis / mold flow analysis ● Model Mock-up Since 1997, we began the development of environmental friendly bio-composites, and focused on the high functional and high performance application quality of bio-composites. Currently the composites have the property of high electrical conductivity, high heat resistance and conduction, gas-barrier, and high mechanical strength… etc. Moreover, the materials strengthen the PLA secondary processing property, and pass the compostable testing. Film technology is also the strength of the plastics center. For example, in 2009, we had developed EVA packaging film master batch in solar battery module, medical grade pressure sensitive adhesive, and PU polymer-based membrane. ● Formula Trial ● Materials testing and analysis ● Machining process guidance ● Professional consultants● Test equipment leasing and foundry We developed the soft biodegradable materials with mixed formula, and successfully transferred them to domestic OEM shoemakers. ● Self-developed technology transfer ● Imported technology transfe We offer diagnostic services to provide business advisory, and process troubleshooting to assist in resolving business process issues and improving business performance. ● Raw material ingredients ● Processing equipments ● Workflow design ● Testing methods ● Quality improvements The center is the most professional certificated organization for plastics product testing. The services we offer include the vehicle component testing / validation, construction materials validation / testing, sunglasses test, medical equipment testing, NSF water treatment equipment testing / validation, cosmetics grade containers testing, and bio-decomposable test. ● Observation and analysis of micro-slice ● Analysis of fire resistance properties ● Analysis of chemical properties ● Analysis of mechanical properties ● Analysis of optical properties ● Analysis of electrical properties ● Analysis of weathering properties ● Analysis of thermal properties ● Testing on products of public works ● Biodegradation test ● Environmental restrictions material testing More related green validation counseling such as IECQ QC 080000, ISO 14064-1, PAS 2050, and … etc are in focus(???) in addition to ISO9001 and others traditional counseling. In recent years, we help companies to qualify the EU's green laws and regulations Directive such as RoHS, WEEE, and REACH. We also counsel the built of green supply chain system in many well-known companies such as Thunder Tiger Corp., and Johnson Health Tech Corp.. Furthermore, enterprises are facing the coming of "low-carbon age". From the "energy saving and carbon reduction" era, "Greenhouse Gas Inventories" to the current "carbon footprint" products, companies are gradually changing the supply chain management way of thinking. For example, the well-known food company, HeySong, is also a partner of the center. ● Quality System Validation Counseling ● Environmental / Occupational Safety and Health Counseling ● Business Counciling for Sustainable Management ● Knowledge Management Counseling ● Factory Management Counseling ● PAS 2050 Carbon Footprint in Product /PAS 2050　● EPD/EPEAT Green Mark/EPD/EPEAT We lead the tour to industry leading plastics and rubber exhibitions worldwide. By the end of 2008, a total of more than 1,200 visitors were joined to the tour visiting plastics industries and plastics & rubber exhibitions around the world. ● The tour of German K – Trade Fair Plastics & Rubber ● The tour of U.S. NPE Plastics & Rubber ● The tour of Japanese IPF Plastics & Rubber We promote company's business as well as products through websites, prints and electronic media, and newsletters under a complete marketing planning. The messages are released through various channels for in-depth full exposure, and allow product advertising to reach its deepest potential in order to capture customers’ eye sights. ● E-newspaper ad ● Assist print media advertising ● Assist electronic media advertising ● Assist product promotion ● Assist achieving technology announcement About PLAXINE In 2007, we jointly developed the brand "PLAXINE" with a well-known design domestic company, Duck Image. PLAXINE was a product brand that dedicated to the environmentally friendly materials PLA, and was also a brand with a story behind. After the role out, the brand had received wide responses, and several companies actively requested to license the brand. ● We created the name brand "PLAXINE" by using PLA eco-friendly materials for product development aspirations, and authorized the brand to industry products that comply with the brand appealed.
