Only Lay Stress on Environmental Protection, Can Our Plastic Additive Enterprises Develop Further

2012/06/27 Qianzhan GGII

    Our plastic additive industry is developed with PVC industry. At the same time, with the development of plastic synthetic resin, the application fields of plastic additive industry are continuously expanded, and the product variety increases greatly. Plastic additive industry has become important industry with complete category and various products. It has been greatly developed in technological level, product mix, scale of production, quality of scientific and technical personnel and other aspects. Now, industries with more than 30 billion Yuan production value are formed in our plastic additive industry. Among them, the value of exports is about 5 billion Yuan.     “Market survey and investment forecasting analysis report of china plastic additive” issued by Qianzhan GGII shows that since 2005 the average growth rate per annum of our plastic additive industry remains at 8%-10% which is more than 4% of that of world plastic additive. Each national department pays much attention to plastic additive industry which gradually develops as important member of new materials with most potential in recent years. 
    According to statistics, during eleventh-five-year period, the capacity, production and consumption of various plastic additive products have achieved fairly rapid growth. From 2008 to 2010 the consumption of our plastic additives is respectively 2730000 tons, 2820000 tons and 3000000 tons. 
    Now, industrial cluster development trend obviously presents in our plastic industry. The number of sized enterprises increases rapidly and industrial structures are gradually adjusted to the direction of large-scale and intensification. Plastic additive industry is also adjusted to the same direction, which is obviously represented in plasticizer, heat stabilizer, impact modifier and processing agent. 
    But, the development of industry mainly focuses on the scale production of common varieties and structural innovation products seldom appear. At the same time, our production mainly adopts proprietary technology of foreign enterprises. So to study, develop and produce high-powered green, environmental, non-poisonous and efficient plastic additives has become the main development direction of our plastic additive industry. 
    Research group of plastic additive industry from Qianzhan GGII analyzes and believes structure adjustment for our additive products is imperative during the twelfth-five-year period. For plasticizer, the production of those which are not belongs to phthalate esters should be increased such as epoxidized soybean oil and trimellitate. For stabilizer, it should reduce salt proportion of lead salt and increase the production of calcium and zinc compound, low lead terres rares, hydrotalcite and organic heat stabilizer. For fire retardant, it should reduce the proportion of halogen and strive to develop inorganic flame retardant. At the same time, actively respond to EU environmental regulations and domestic and overseas requirements for non-poisonous green products. 
    In the future, plastic additive enterprises should cooperate with colleges and universities and scientific research institutions to change unreasonable product structure and develop environmental auxiliaries.
