Plastic additives (additive), plastic products an indispensable raw materials, the main categories: heat / light stabilizer, antioxidant, anti-static additives, lubricants, flame retardants, plasticizers and as well as the impact modifier And so on. Other special additives, including anti-caking and anti-aerosol, foam, antibacterial agents, as well as nucleation / transparent agent. Plastic additives, not only in the processing can improve the performance of polymer technology to improve processing conditions to improve processing efficiency, but also to improve product performance, increase the value of products, extend product life.
In recent years, the plastics additives industry continued to adjust product structure, mergers and acquisitions, co-operation, re-combination, in order to maintain or expand their own advantages and form a growing and increasingly globalized transnational corporations, and plastic additives in the production and supply are Will become more and more concentrated, more and more globalized. A number of multinational companies in the plastics additives in some areas of the formation of their business scope to develop its own strengths to expand the global sales market coverage.
Plastics additives industry after several years of difficult period after the strong recovery has begun. In 2004 the global demand for plastics additives is about 9,900,000 tons, the market value of 19,000,000,000 U.S. dollars. 19,000,000,000 U.S. dollars in the market, accounting for 25% of North America, Europe accounted for 25%, 16% China, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 24%, and other areas accounted for 10%. It is estimated that over the next 4 years, the world's demand for plastics additives will be an annual average of about 4% growth, Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region (excluding China) needs an average annual growth rate of 3%, China is expected to plastic additives Average annual growth rate will reach 8% -10% in other parts of the needs of the average annual growth rate of 5% -6%, but India will be another fast-growing region, as its per capita plastics consumption is still well below the average of industrialized countries Level.
According to the type of additives, plasticizers remains the largest market accounting for 58% modifier (including the clarification and nucleating agent, agent, agent to improve impact resistance) accounted for 24%, the nature of the supplements (including antioxidant, anti - Static additives, fungicides, heat and light stabilizers, flame retardants) accounted for 11% of processing aid (including anti-caking and anti-aerosol, lubricant and anti-skid agent) accounted for 7%. For soft PVC will reach an annual average of 3.5 percent, mainly due to the rapid increase in Chinese demand. Expected growth will be the largest coupling agent, with an average annual growth rate of up to 7%, mainly including the use of wood-plastic composite materials, polymer alloy, polymer-filled and the other for the production of transparent polypropylene nucleation / agent needs to clarify There will also be expected to grow faster.
Efficient and effective, nontoxic, pollution-free, multi-functional complex in the world of plastic additives of the general trend of development. Plastics additives to the development trend, the main impact modifier to have excellent performance of the ACR, MBS-based; plasticizer in order to enhance the special properties of plastics, phosphate, epoxy esters, fatty acid ester Category, polyester, three-ester plasticizer-type speed up the research and development; to antioxidant compound type products, especially high molecular weight reduction wave of product development; with light stabilizer hindered amine-based, and a Polymer quantitative, low-alkaline, multi-functional, and reactive functional groups, such as diversified characteristics. In recent years, many of the features of the new additive is also emerging, high-profile success of the nuclear agent, agent degradation, infra-red blocking agent.
As for product quality, performance improvement, the development of high-performance, multi-function products, plastic additives, has become a big foreign companies and research institutions work. Antioxidants such as plastic, in recent years, foreign sulfur-type of antioxidant relatively slow pace of development, many companies focus shifted to the main and auxiliary agents used in the development of complex agents, in order to achieve high molecular weight products, thermal stability, not Pollution does not change color characteristics. Another example is the plastic packaging industry, in particular for food and medicine plastic packaging manufacturer, type of antioxidant vitamin E showed great interest. In addition, in Europe, "one-stop" package has been widely welcomed. This refers to a variety of technical aids and methods appropriate proportion of complex mixtures, composed of some of the characteristics of the system so that users do not have to add categories to simplify the calculation process and add, so that products with superior physical performance, future One of the development.
