Plastics industry to develop new trend

By attach great importance to the plastics industry
The application of polymer from the water supply as well as automotive and aerospace engineering, by building insulation to the packaging, and medical technology to areas such as leisure sports, can see the use of plastics and rubber. The world's plastic and rubber production in 2003 reached 221,000,000 tons, of which about 176,000,000 tons of plastic products for about 1.9 million tons of rubber for tires and technical rubber parts
Last year, global consumption of plastic materials break records in the industry are forecast over the next few years the increase in plastic will remain at 5% per year. Barthez is expected that the total demand for plastics in 2010 to reach 250,000,000 tons, the representative of the global per capita consumption from 28 kg in 2003 rose to 37 kilograms of 2010.
The development of the new rubber industry
Rubber industry has also been some new developments. Silane mixture distribution in the manufacture of tire tread more and more usage, which improved tire noise and the ability to grip, but also make it easier tire wear and thus need to be modified mixture, at the same time to change out of equipment, in order to To create wear and corrosion of parts and components effective temperature control. In the rubber extrusion, has developed the use of mathematical formula and the forecast for the progress of the process of vulcanization. Gear pump, whether independent or combined with the use of extruder, rubber processing are gaining popularity. Heat-resistant and fire-retardant materials in the construction and automobile industries also showed strong demand for the design of screw extruder temperature control and bring a certain amount of pressure.
Raw materials did not have a major new development. Manufacturers strive to improve the performance of the original materials or increase the special performance. For example, to engineer a new type of plastic to engage in R & D and the color of fire protection systems. As for the polyolefin in the field of packaging, packaging materials industry is looking forward to the tough, transparent and good processing characteristics, such as combined.
