-Why China Hasn’t Slapped Tariffs On U.S. Oil Imports

The United States has quickly become one of the top crude producers in the world thanks to the shale boom fueled by the shale oil and gas powerhouse that is West Texas’ Permian Basin.

In fact, the U.S. is on track to overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s leading exporter of oil, natural gas liquids and petroleum products by the end of the year in a development very, very few could have predicted.

At the same time that the U.S. has risen to the top of the global oil production game to become the fastest-growing oil producer in the world, China has also broken its own records to become the fastest-growing oil consumer in the world.

-Plastic furniture manufacturers adopt PP

According to a recent study, increasing demand for low-cost, lightweight and durable furniture is driving end-users to adopt plastic instead of traditional, wooden or metal.

Ongoing developments in engineered plastics and growing focus on recyclable plastics will remain instrumental in shaping the future of the plastic furniture market.

The study estimates that developing countries in South Asia will account for approximately 32 per cent revenue share of the market in 2019. Increasing growth of the construction industry and increasing disposable income is mainly attributed to the surge in demand for plastic furniture in the region.

Manufacturers are introducing unique designs at affordable prices to tap the sales potential in developing nations in the region. Polymers Petrochemicals Carbon Fibres

-Sonoco Alcore to display EcoSPAN textile cores at ITMA20

Sonoco Alcore will debut Sonoco’s new, patented EcoSPAN engineered textile cores to global manufacturers at ITMA 2019 exhibition, in hall 7, stand D113. The leading textile and garment technology exhibition will be held from June 20-26, 2019, in Barcelona, Spain. Sonoco Alcore is a world-class technological leader of the paper tube and core industry.

Sonoco’s EcoSPAN technology creates a tailored friction surface to drive optimal performance in the demanding realm of Spandex yarn production. Unlike current Spandex yarn cores that use a film-based material on the outer surface, which creates friction-driven transfer problems and minimises the ability for customisation, EcoSPAN cores use a patented, customisable, aqueous coating, eliminating the need for additional film materials on the outer surface.

-Focus on Industry 4.0 at ITMA 2019

The future of the textiles industry is more and more determined by Industry 4.0, which has many dimensions and possible fields of application. In three of them (smart services, operations and factory), key solutions are provided by the machinery industry. The other ones from smart textile products, marketing and sales, employees up to strategy and organisation are specific know-how issues for textiles mills.

At the ITMA 2019 in Barcelona, next month, visitors will have the chance to see how Industry 4.0 solutions are impacting the textiles process chain. Six weeks prior to the show, Nicolai Strauch, press officer of the VDMA Textile Machinery Association, Germany, spoke to experts of VDMA member companies about their products and services with regard to digitisation and Industry 4.0.
