At
Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2026, taking place 3-5 February 2026, visitors to the
Broanmain Plastics stand (booth C195) will have the chance to get free expert guidance on all aspects of injection, compression moulding and tooling, plus direction on changing legislation regarding the sourcing and processing of fire-retardant plastics materials.
The Broanmain exhibition booth will serve as a hub for manufacturers, engineers, and OEMs seeking informed and impartial guidance about the most cost-effective moulding techniques and material choices. From mass manufacturing components to exploring innovative new materials, the Broanmain team of specialists will also be available to provide informative and honest guidance on the shift away from halogenated compounds to compliant fire-retardant safety and electronic materials. Including how to identify the materials that are proven to have a lower environmental impact.
This is an unmissable opportunity to get free feedback on existing designs or explore how your tooling estate can be optimised for manufacturability. Bring your technical challenges and receive practical solutions to address costly manufacturing and component reshoring pitfalls. Discover the pros and cons of different materials for your specific applications, including durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.
Thomas Catinat, Broanmain’s materials processing expert and operations director, said: “The current market for flame-retardant materials is in a state of flux. It is affecting many sectors that we serve, including aviation, transport and logistics, leisure, construction, and the electronics market. There are a number of developments underway for alternatives to BFRs. Yet, the transition due to sourcing challenges and inconsistent regulatory environmental restrictions is resulting in snap sourcing decisions being made for materials that may not provide a long-term solution.”
If questions about emerging plastic materials are causing a concern, the Broanmain team will provide valuable insight without visitors having to make any commitments. As processing experts, the team is dedicated to helping customers make the best possible choices to help them improve their competitive edge.
Be sure to visit stand C195 for a chat, bring your environmental questions and processing challenges, and leave with practical solutions and new ideas. 3-5 February 2026, Farnborough International Exhibition Centre.
