Relying on science and technology innovation to improve carbon black industry

In the auto and tire manufacturing industry, led by China carbon black industry over the past decade has made the development of production in 1995 from 515,000 tons in 2004 to expand the 1,380,000 tons. Over the next 10 years, China's output of carbon black will be an average annual growth rate of 7%, the product can also be gradually meet the radial tire and other rubber products, and automotive plastics, paint, ink and other areas require the use of high-end products, energy efficiency will also be Further enhanced. However, China's carbon black business is sparse and scattered, generally smaller scale, so although production only to the United States, ranking second in the world, but China can not count carbon black power. Therefore, we must rely on scientific and technological progress and innovation, to adjust product mix, improve the management capacity and improve China's carbon black industry.
Speed up product innovation, to seize the high-end market as a result of China's carbon black products also failed to seize the high-end international market, in order to meet the green tire and rubber vehicle requirements should be the further development of low rolling resistance of carbon black and silica products, specialty vehicle; To further provide high-quality radial tire performance and stability of the N115, N234, N375, N550, and so on, especially soft carbon black products. At the same time, in black plastic, printing ink, fiber, and so on the gradual increase in the proportion of applications, the development of rubber outside the field of application-specific carbon black, should be taken seriously.
Strengthening the technical transformation, the rational distribution of great importance to develop an annual production capacity of 40,000 tons and above the soft technologies and carbon black unit, with an annual output of 30,000 tons or more of hard carbon black technology and equipment to further enhance the annual output of 10,000 tons of carbon And technological devices. Layout, should be expanded in raw materials or end-market application of carbon black in the vicinity of the size of the enterprise.
To speed up corporate restructuring and achieving clean production in the future, manufacturers of carbon black, carbon black production and raw materials suppliers of carbon black, as well as suppliers and end users between the restructuring, mergers will increase. At the same time, enterprises should strengthen the carbon black product quality control and environmental monitoring, and to achieve cleaner production.
To strengthen trade cooperation and promoting technological progress should make full use of carbon black and carbon black enterprises scientific research institutions to develop new products and technological capability, enterprises and research institutions should strengthen cooperation to promote technological progress and innovation. In the management of industry, trade associations and other relevant organizations should strengthen the statistical data, companies in the industry to promote information exchange, cooperation between enterprises and the strengthening of international cooperation in order to avoid or reduce competition and efforts should be made to strengthen the quality supervision and environmental monitoring Efforts.
