The future direction of development of Masterbatch

China is one of the world's 13 water-poor countries, agricultural water above 70% of total water consumption, while they account for 90 percent of irrigation water for agricultural use. Third Plenary Session of the 15th Party Congress' decision on a number of major issues in agriculture and rural work, "pointed out:" Water shortage is becoming constraints of agricultural and economic and social development, we must attach great importance to the whole party. "Therefore, to develop water-saving agriculture, to promote water-saving irrigation as a revolutionary measure task, greatly improve the utilization of water, and efforts to expand the effective irrigation area. As the plastic material can be processed into a variety of different molds according to different characteristics of complex shapes, which produce plastic water-saving irrigation equipment has become an important part of modern irrigation equipment for agriculture irrigation pipes provide an ideal network for China's production and economic and social development of agriculture plays an important role.
     Masterbatch is a plastic 1960s developed new products colored fiber, which is attached to the load evenly prepared polymer composites in the extraordinary amount of pigment resin; US called pigment concentrates or pigment preparations. Masterbatch consisting essentially of a colorant, carriers, dispersants three parts. According to distinguish between the use of masterbatch, China Masterbatch produce plastic injection molding, blown film masterbatch, masterbatch and versatile fiber masterbatch and other categories.
     China has 330 masterbatch production enterprises, including grade plastic masterbatch plant has reached 300, fiber grade masterbatch plant for 30, these masterbatch production plants are mainly located in Fujian, Guangdong, Shandong, Zhejiang Jiangsu, Shanghai, Liaoning, Tianjin, Beijing, Hebei and other provinces and cities. China's masterbatch annual production capacity of 1000 tons or more enterprises with nearly 50 national masterbatch production capacity of 300,000 tons per year, the demand in 2001 to less than 120,000 tons of masterbatch. Excess capacity, leading to widespread underemployment domestic masterbatch industry, in addition to the rapid growth of new production equipment, lack of product orders and other factors; One important factor is the domestic masterbatch single product structure, variety incomplete, generic products accounted for a large proportion of high concentration and high gravity, versatility and fine denier fiber masterbatch masterbatch less proportion. In contrast, a high technical level of the country masterbatch, pigments, dispersant full range of raw materials, has formed a series of specialized products and structures.
     According to information learned from other countries in Asia masterbatch annual growth rate of about 7% to 9%, can our country's annual growth rate of masterbatch is about 20%. Chinese demand is expected in 2002 will reach 150,000 tons; 2005 demand will reach 228,000 tons; China will become the fastest growing market demand for masterbatch. Especially color and add masterbatch, China must rely on imports. Our country has become the largest market in Asia masterbatch producer and consuming countries.
     In terms of product development, China's masterbatch manufacturers have developed a fiber masterbatch, masterbatch films, wire and cable Masterbatch, Masterbatch polyolefins, PVC masterbatches, plastic products using masterbatch tablets. Experts believe that the future will be in the multi-functional masterbatches, high color content and high-tech direction. China's masterbatch manufacturers should improve the technological content of products, so that high-quality masterbatch products to develop in the direction more quickly develop new products and broaden the application areas of masterbatch products so versatile and high-tech products masterbatch fully meet the needs of the market to meet the needs of all domestic downstream users, so as to be invincible in the competition.
