Global plastics additives producers are trying to production capacity

At present, the world's leading manufacturer of plastic additives are working to expand production capacity, particularly in the Asian region to step up to increase production capacity to meet growing demand in the region.

Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation 100,000,000 U.S. dollars of investment in the construction of a Singapore initial capacity of 30,000 tons / year of the antioxidant plastic device into operation early in 2008. Paul Blair's 20,000,000 U.S. dollars will be invested in Nanjing, China, the new plastics additives plant, its technology center in Nanjing in September 2006 opening. Blair is currently in the Chinese capital has two joint venture company, Ningbo Jin Hai Ya Bao Chemical Company and Shanghai Jin Hai Ya Bao Chemical Company. The former special production of polymer stabilizers, flame retardants and fine chemicals, which produce polymer stabilizers and intermediates for polymer stabilizers.

Plastic additives, including flame retardants and the main stabilizer. FREEDONIA research company reported that global demand for flame retardants will be an annual growth rate of 4.8 percent continues to grow in 2009 to reach 2,200,000 tons, the market value of 4,900,000,000 U.S. dollars, developing countries, especially China and other countries in the Asia-Pacific will be the The main driving force behind the demand. Bromine compounds and phosphorus compounds, antimony compounds, as well as manganese compounds such as the value of special flame retardants will continue to occupy a greater market share, aluminum demand growth will slow down the compound, the smallest growth rate of chlorinated flame retardants.

Increasingly stringent environmental regulations have been in Europe and the United States market chlorine, fluorine and bromine-containing flame retardants have a greater negative impact. Is expected in the next few years, the European flame retardant market demand for an average annual growth rate of 3% by 2009 demand will reach 505,000 tons; the North American market demand for flame retardants an average annual growth rate is estimated to be 3.4 percent, to demand in 2009 Will reach 715,000 tons. U.S. demand for plastic stabilizer average annual growth rate of 2.8 percent, in 2009 to more than 91,000 tons. Due to the increasing demand for polyvinyl chloride, PVC will continue to be the main heat stabilizer market demand. Light Stabilizer demand growth is estimated to be 6.1 percent per year, 2009 will reach 16,000 tons, the market value of about 310,000,000 U.S. dollars.
