At present, the Chinese economy is in rapid development among the whole society on the environmental, health issues more and more attention, as in the application of plastic products in the universal masterbatch coloring, how to promote technological innovation to meet the needs of society, has become a whole a problem the industry must face.
 

Masterbatch urgently needed standardization

Masterbatch is a high proportion of pigments or additives with the thermoplastic resin, the well-dispersed plastic colorants having excellent coloring effect, for automatic measurement and transport, energy saving, no dust, pollution, etc., in plastic colored paint and other materials in common use.

Masterbatch in the production process, the pigment quality directly affects the quality of masterbatch, and the masterbatch quality is good or bad has a direct impact on the quality of plastic products. But masterbatch pigment has been no national standards, has followed the standard paint pigment, so over 30 years. Not have their own industry standards, resulting in a lower part of the masterbatch business product quality.

Therefore, the industry urgently wants the state to introduce as soon as possible with pigment masterbatches standards to further standardize the standard masterbatch products to ensure the quality of the entire industry masterbatch products.

The titanium dioxide in the masterbatch production also plays a special role, according to incomplete statistics, the production of titanium dioxide masterbatch for 2 to 3 million tons per year, the use of rutile into high school low grades, high-end the use of imported rutile, rutile use of domestic mid-range and low-end of the use of domestic anatase titanium dioxide.

The use of imported titanium dioxide masterbatch production mainly for export, the use of domestic titanium dioxide masterbatch production to meet the domestic market. Due to intense competition, there is an increasing trend to use anatase titanium dioxide masterbatch, resulting in poor quality of domestic masterbatch product does not meet the current needs of society. Only countries step masterbatch industry norms, improve the competitiveness of masterbatch business, this situation will be eased.

Development of domestic masterbatch

In China, the country has 400 enterprises masterbatch production as much, mainly in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Tianjin and other cities, where the annual production capacity of more than 1,000 tons of enterprises have more than 50 across the country. The total demand of the country masterbatch less than 120 000 t / a, excess capacity, leading to widespread underemployment domestic masterbatch industry, market competition is very fierce.

Excess capacity reasons in addition to the new production plant excessive growth, lack of product orders and other factors, which made masterbatch single product structure, variety incomplete, generic products account for a large proportion of high density and ultra-high concentration and, versatility masterbatch and less fine fiber is also an important factor in masterbatch proportion.

High contrast masterbatch technology countries, pigments, dispersants full range of raw materials, has formed a series of specialized products and structures.

Only we further control the number of masterbatch business, and enterprises to optimize the product, our masterbatch production enterprises can there place in the competition in the market, or, under the impact of foreign products, China's masterbatch business will no foothold.

Foreign masterbatch Development

Masterbatch in foreign markets mainly in Western Europe, North America and Japan, the production of masterbatch or multinational enterprises are mostly Fortune 500 companies, such as the United States Hanna, PoIyone, Swiss soil Ciba-Geigy and other companies. Wherein Hanna company's sales amounted to 140,000 tons a year, British Colloids company's annual sales of $ 55 million.

Colloids recently announced that it will build a total area of ​​3700 square meters in China, Jiangsu, initial production capacity of 3500 tons of masterbatch production plant, the main products for the Chinese domestic market, but also for a number of European and American customers.

Meanwhile, the global leader in specialty chemicals maker Clariant has introduced a new black masterbatch. The new product uses technology Clariant CoolBlack carefully crafted, with excellent cooling function it will be widely used in textile and carpet production.

Global pigment Consulting believes that only if we continue to improve the quality of masterbatch technology enterprise competitiveness and employees, optimizing the structure of enterprises, improve the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises, China's masterbatch business to a place in the future market adapt to the needs of society.
