Fluoride strong growth in domestic demand for rubber production capacity larger gap

In recent years, with China's automotive, aerospace, oil refining, and other precision equipment industry's rapid development, at present, domestic demand for fluorine rubber showing a trend of rapid growth, data show that since the mid-1990s, domestic consumption of fluorine rubber Average annual growth rate as high as 31.6 percent, to enter the 21st century, some years the annual consumption of nearly 50% growth rate, such as fluoride in 2001 domestic rubber consumption is about 1500 tons, the industry is expected, fluorine rubber demand in 2005 6500t will be tons of fluorine rubber in 2010 domestic market capacity will rise to about 10,000 tons. But with the rapid growth of consumption, domestic production capacity of fluorine rubber currently far from meeting the needs of the domestic market to such an extent that many areas had to rely on direct import from abroad.

Rubber is a special fluorine rubber, rubber in the molecular structure of carbon atoms in the chain there is a synthesis of fluorine atoms of polymer materials, odorless, non-toxic, non-combustible, with a heat-resistant, oxidation resistance, oil resistance, chemical resistance, and so on merit Performance, modern high-tech industry in particular in the field of indispensable and irreplaceable basis of the material, is widely used in automotive, petroleum, chemicals, instruments, machinery, aerospace and many other fields. Mainly for the domestic automotive and aerospace, automotive components currently used fluorine rubber material of the main products are: the engine crankshaft oil seal ago, after the crankshaft oil seal, valve oil seals pole, the patch engine, the cylinder engine stop Hydrosphere, fuel hoses, fuel hoses, oil filter one-way valve, fuel flap. -Central, and reducer gearbox oil seal, and so on. With the lead-free gasoline and EFI devices in the car on the use of the fuel hose in the layer has been gradually replaced by fluorine rubber acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber from China's own development of the fluoride for the inner layer of rubber hose at present In Santana, Audi, Fukang car, and other widely used. In addition loading and unloading vehicles in the hydraulic system, large-scale hydraulic system for loading and unloading vehicles and long working hours, mechanical oil temperature and the temperature rose rapidly, in the ordinary rubber can not meet the general requirements to be used to replace fluorine rubber.

In addition to the application of the auto industry, fluorine rubber seals used in the drilling machinery, equipment, oil refining, natural gas desulfurization devices. At the same time bear in the days of high temperature and high pressure, strong oil and corrosion, and other media on the use of harsh conditions; in the chemical industry, fluorine rubber seals used in pumps, pipe joints, equipment containers, used to seal inorganic acid, organic matter, such as Chemicals. Out of plastic as additives, polyethylene, polypropylene extrusion processing, low viscosity rubber fluoride in-mouth Extruder surface of the thin membrane, thereby increasing the rate of extrusion products and to obtain the desired appearance. At the same time, in the aerospace, building materials, machinery and other areas of fluorine rubber also very important application. In China, consumption of fluorine rubber automotive industry currently accounts for about 40%, accounting for about 25% of the petrochemical industry, aerospace, aviation and other industries accounted for 35%.

With the outstanding characteristics of fluorine rubber has been gradually recognized, fluorine rubber applications are increasingly widespread, with the attendant social demand is increasing rapidly. Only in the automotive industry, for example, automobile production has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, domestic automobile production in 2002 to break the 3,000,000 in 2003 to reach annual production of 4,450,000, by 2004, the total output reached 5,300,000, of which car production continued rapid Growth, experts estimate that only one car industry, in 2005 on the direct needs of fluorine rubber will be 4,000 tons, the amount of maintenance would be consumed in the lO00 tons, in addition to domestic military industry, aerospace, water conservancy facilities in areas such as fluorine rubber on the rapid growth in demand . It is estimated that the consumption of fluoride in these areas will be about 1,500 tons of rubber. According to the development of auto industry forecasting for the auto industry in 2010 domestic demand for fluorine rubber will be about 7500t. Together with other areas of consumption in 2010 will be domestic fluorine rubber 95O0 ~ 10000 tons of market capacity.

At present, with the rapid growth of consumption, domestic production capacity of fluorine rubber currently far from meeting the needs of the domestic market. It is learned that major rubber producers have fluoride Shanghai love the rich new materials Co., Ltd., Sichuan Chemical Industry Institute of dawn and chemical companies, Jiangsu Meilan several, with a total production capacity of about 3500 tons / year, the relative tons 6500t The consumption this year will be about 3,000 tons of the gap, caused by the current domestic price of rubber all the way take fluorosis high, many areas have directly from the United States, Italy and Russia imports.

For the domestic market demand for fluorine rubber rapid growth, Shanghai and Sichuan Fu Love III dawn is actively expanding production capacity, such as the Shanghai Fu Three love investment is 350,000,000 yuan in Shanghai Caojing Chemical Industry Zone of the construction of a new fluorine chemical production base in light of the morning Institute is also actively developing new varieties and new construction of fluorine rubber production line: the other fluoride compounds the largest domestic manufacturer of Zhejiang giant is using its materials and technologies involved in the production of fluorine rubber. While these projects be implemented. However, with strong market demand, there were still many gaps.
