Tire cord fabric industry, chemical fiber raw materials aim at the market

At present, the developed countries in the development of chemical fiber enterprises to use chemical fiber industry, the most representative products are automotive tire cord fiber. A lot of foreign chemical fiber enterprises changing tire cord fiber needed to enable enterprises to operate out of the predicament.

South Korea's Hyosung Corporation in the 1970s has been to produce daily-use chemical-based products, after the mid-90's the face of China's chemical fiber and other countries the competitive pressure, changing the beginning of chemical fiber industrial supplies, and tire cord fabric production As a key chemical fiber products, with annual capacity of polythene fiber cord 10,400 tons, in the international market share of 25%, Hyosung Corporation has acquired Goodyear's tire cord fabric production of chemical fiber enterprises Utica company In North America, South America and Europe 4 cord with the production of chemical fiber products plant. Hyosung's recent acquisition of Utica, its cord with polyethylene fiber production accounts for up to the international market share of 35%. Hyosung in the Anti-corrosion steel tire cord fabric used in the field of chemical fiber production and fourth largest in the world, the annual output to 125,000 tons. South Korea's Hyosung this chemical fiber products, structural adjustment by the general value-added products with high added value to the transition towards a decisive step.

PFI and the United States of the last century's Invista is also a general chemical fiber production enterprises, through structural adjustment to changing products, they now use the cord of polyethylene fiber were produced 94,000 tons and 53,000 tons respectively of the total world market share of 23% And 13% completely out of the general value-added chemical fiber production and operation losses. Cologne Group of South Korea's current restructuring of chemical fiber products have also achieved initial results, with tire cord fiber products, polyethylene production rose to 38,400 tons, accounting for the international market share of 9%.

Europe and the United States, Japan and South Korea's chemical fiber enterprises are still using artificial silk cord fibers, nylon 6 fiber, glass fiber and nylon 66 fiber and chemical fiber cord with environment-friendly products, chemical fiber loycel new investment and increase development efforts. In addition, IT products, technology, aviation and space technology such as sharp in the field of chemical fiber materials, a new generation of the growing demand, chemical fiber enterprises in developed countries are now targeting these areas of high value-added products, fast changing products to these areas.
