China's non-tire rubber products high-speed production increased desire to expand the share of Lanxess

In recent years, China's non-tire rubber products industry's rapid development, greatly stimulating the market for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, neoprene, EPDM, and so the demand for synthetic rubber. However, due to capacity constraints, China's production of EPDM, nitrile rubber, neoprene, and so on in terms of output or performance can not meet the requirements of the market, the annual import volume remains high.

In 2007 China imported a total of 1,412,000 tons of synthetic rubber, representing a 8.4 percent growth last year; the average price reached 2011 U.S. dollars / ton, representing a growth of 10.2 percent last year, and average import prices to a record high. China in 2010 is expected to synthetic rubber imports will reach 1,900,000 tons. Huge market to attract the world's production of synthetic rubber predators, they have stepped up efforts to open up the Chinese market. Not long ago, in 2008, China held an international show, Lanxess (Lanxess) Industrial Works Department of the rubber products industry in the Asia Pacific region marketing manager algae Sun said in an interview: "Although we do not have to set up production bases in China, but we To enter the Chinese market as well as the absolute interest. China's rapid development of rubber industry, Lanxess for industrial rubber products business growth and profitability of the huge space. "

Market: attracted international speculators

In recent years, China and Africa tire rubber production increased dramatically year by year, the amount of plastic waste is also increasing. According to the China Rubber Industry Association estimated that in 2007, China and Africa tire rubber production: 170,000,000 square meters conveyor belt, over the previous year growth of 10.7%; V with meters 990,000,000 A, the 8.1 percent increase over the previous year; hose 5.5 Standard billion meters, growth of 7.5 percent over the previous year; 1,800,000,000 pair of shoes, 13.1% increase over the previous year.

Plastic hose to the industry, for example, as China's second largest rubber industry, in its non-tire rubber products occupy a large proportion. According to the China Rubber Industry Association estimates branch pipe band, in 2007 with possession of the total industry volume of waste plastic for about 173,000 tons. In the next few years, the market for rubber tube with the needs of every year was still on the rise. According to an annual increase of 7%, is estimated in 2008 Chinese production of conveyor belt 182,000,000 square meters, V with output of 1,285,000,000 A meters, hose 560,000,000 for the production of standard meters. Is expected in 2010, China's output of conveyor belt 210,000,000 square meters, V with output of 1.5 billion A-meter, hose 640,000,000 for the production of standard meters. By stimulating the development of the automobile industry, China's car with V-specific and special hose will be increased. According to the tube with the three major product forecast production is estimated that in 2008 the volume of plastic waste plastic tube will be about 185,000 tons, of which synthetic rubber consumption of about 100,000 tons; rubber consumption in 2010 will reach around 212,000 tons, of which consumption of synthetic rubber 112,000 tons.

Sun said the algae, non-tire rubber products used in rubber, synthetic rubber accounted for around 60%. If the conveyor belt products with elastomer materials, mainly styrene-butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber, ethylene-propylene rubber, neoprene and polyurethane rubber, and so on. The main belt by rubber natural rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, and so the transition to the chloroprene rubber, and to gradually HNBR and other good performance elastomer development, thermoplastic elastomer gradually be taken seriously. Rubber hose materials include almost all the natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Sun said that the algae, which Lanxess to the industrial rubber products into the Chinese market opportunities.
