China 1.8 million tons of polycarbonate consumption shocks

Development began in 1958 of polycarbonate and industrial production in 1965. There have been Shanghai Tianyuan Group Shenju plants, Jiangsu Changlong Chemical Co., Ltd. , Chongqing Changfeng chemical plants engaged in the production , most of the products for personal use . However, due to the small size of the device , backward technology , poor product quality , high production costs, low product competitiveness , unable to compete with foreign products . After 2005 , China's investment boom set off polycarbonate , a world-class manufacturer Teijin Polycarbonate and Bayer has invested factories in our country, our 2012 production capacity of 441,000 tons of polycarbonate / year . Although, with the European debt crisis and economic recession, the global polycarbonate demand growth is easing, but fast emerging market economies like China and India grow , driven by the global economic environment will gradually change for the better , stable and rapid economic development at home and abroad under the environment , polycarbonate downstream industries will maintain steady and rapid development . Next three years, the average annual growth rate of 6.0% polycarbonate demand expected by 2015 demand will reach 1.8 million tons .Wholesale masking tape

As one of the leading global manufacturer of polymers , Bayer MaterialScience company back in 2001 to create a polymer in Shanghai R & D center in Shanghai integrated base was put into operation an annual output of 100,000 tons / year of polycarbonate esters plant and four other graded blended polycarbonate material factory for the production line to provide a strong technical support. In addition , Teijin Chemical Company invested 900 million yen ( $ 8.3 million ) in its Shanghai factory polycarbonate mix the ingredients the new device was put into operation in 2009 , after the completion of the expansion , the plant became a world-class polycarbonate ester mixed ingredients factory. The future is still domestic, foreign new ( expanded) construction polycarbonate device gradually put into operation in our country . New Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company in Shanghai Chemical Industry Park in Caojing 80,000 tons / year of polycarbonate production capacity will be put into operation by the end of 2013 , total investment in the polycarbonate resin is a joint project of about 30 billion yen . Sinopec and Saudi Basic Industries Corporation ( SABIC ) signed a 260,000 tons / year of polycarbonate project is expected to commence production in 2015 , the project is in Tianjin, China Petrochemical and Elizabeth existing 1 million tons / year ethylene project in the new joint venture the content of cooperation , using the world 's most advanced non-phosgene production process , with a total investment of about 11 billion yuan , the two sides share more than 50%: 50 %.Masking tape


The project will include the production of mixed grade, extrusion grade , optical grade polycarbonate and injection grade four categories . Bayer MaterialScience AG has announced plans in 2010 to 2016 it produced in Shanghai Caojing polycarbonate combined unit more than double the production capacity will reach 50 million tons / year , Bayer MaterialScience will also be greatly enhanced in Caojing R & D capabilities , and polycarbonate business unit from Leverkusen, Germany to Shanghai , which will make it closer to the rapidly growing business in Asia polycarbonate market . In addition , Bayer MaterialScience AG is located in Yonghe Economic Zone , Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, polycarbonate single- board factory was opened in October 2011 to build , design and production capacity of 12,000 tons / year was put into operation this year , 2015, which polycarbonate plant capacity will double to 24,000 tons / year. Kaifeng Xinghua Fine Chemical Plant 10,000 tons / year PC devices will also be put into operation within the next two years . "Twelve Five-Year" period, China will become the main battlefield of polycarbonate crowded , expected by the end of 2015, our production capacity will reach more than polycarbonate 1,114,000 tons / year , when the country 's annual demand of 170 to 200 million tons, self-sufficiency rate of 50 % to 60% , will change our long-standing dependence on imports of polycarbonate , which greatly promoted the development of China's engineering plastics .Washi tape


It is understood that , from 2005 to 2010 , the average annual growth rate of China's polycarbonate consumption in more than 7% , in 2011 the national fiscal policy tightening and tightening of credit, resulting in a large number of small and medium sized polycarbonate downstream users face the problem of shortage of funds Meanwhile, in parts of recruitment difficulties and shortage also affects downstream users operating rate ; Secondly , in 2011 the domestic real estate purchase , car purchase policy , leading to a slowdown in real estate and domestic automotive market ; thirdly, by the European debt crisis and the impact of the global economic downturn , domestic orders polycarbonate downstream export-oriented enterprises reduced, thereby affecting polycarbonate demand . Many negative factors leading to consumption of polycarbonate in 2011 was 1,127,000 tons , an increase of less than 2% , a significant decline in consumption growth . In 2012, exports under the environmental impact of China's domestic downstream industries affected polycarbonate , plus the purchase of real estate , automobile purchase policies continue, by 2012 domestic consumption of polycarbonate 116.6 tons, demand growth at 3% to 4%, a slight rise over 2011 .Sellotape
