Currently, modified plastics are widely used in various pillar industries and emerging industries in multiple countries, including home appliances, automobiles, communications, electronics, medical, rail transportation, precision instruments, home building materials, security, aerospace, and military industries. Therefore, modified plastics, as an important branch of polymer modification materials and new materials, have received support from multiple national industrial policies in recent years.
Although the domestic modified plastics industry has developed rapidly in recent years, there is still a certain gap in comprehensive competitiveness compared to large international chemical companies. Currently, the domestic high-end modified plastics market is still mainly reliant on imports, with a significant demand for import substitution. The domestic plastic market has a large space.
1. Scale of Plastic Usage
From 2010 to 2019, the production of modified plastics in China increased year by year. In 2020, the domestic plastic production reached 103.55 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7%, with a modification rate of 21.7%, and the production of modified plastics was 22.5 million tons. With the national support for carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the overall market space for modified plastics is still very large. Modified plastics fall under the category of new materials and are included in the key development areas of science and technology by the state. Due to the shortcomings of plastics in heat resistance and load-bearing capacity, the performance of plastics can be improved by adding suitable modifiers and through methods such as filling, blending, and reinforcement. The modified plastics obtained through processing overcome the defects of ordinary plastics, such as poor heat resistance, low strength and toughness, and weak wear and impact resistance, enhancing properties such as flame retardancy, strength, impact resistance, and toughness.
Modified plastics are classified by performance into flame-retardant resin types, reinforced toughened resin types, plastic alloy types, functional color masterbatch types, etc., used in various industrial products such as power tools, automotive parts, household appliances, and furniture. Overall, the application range of modified plastics in downstream industries is extremely broad and continues to expand.
2. Application Fields of Plastic Modification
Modified plastics have been widely used in downstream fields due to their excellent cost-performance ratio. They are commonly found in the home appliance sector, automotive sector, battery shells, electronic products, and sports equipment.
1. Application of Modified Plastics in Home Appliances
Modified plastics are widely used in the home appliance industry. Home appliance products frequently come into contact with surfaces, are prone to wear; long-term exposure to water, oil, and salt can lead to corrosion; prolonged use in high-temperature conditions can cause aging; and long-term exposure to light can lead to discoloration and loss of luster. Therefore, materials are required to have strong aesthetic performance, good scratch resistance, ease of processing, and high cost-performance ratio. Common home appliance products include electric pressure cookers, induction cookers, noodle machines, steamed bun machines, soy milk machines, food processors, juicers, electric kettles, hair dryers, straighteners, razors, etc., all of which utilize modified plastics.
2. Application of Modified Plastics in the Automotive Sector
The application of modified plastics in automobiles includes: pedals, sun visors, storage racks, fans, wipers, air conditioning housings, bumpers, seat belt clips, and other automotive interior and exterior parts, as well as components around the engine, air conditioning systems, and lighting systems. These are all areas of application for modified plastics, indicating that their use in the automotive sector is extensive. By increasing the amount of modified plastics used in automobiles, the weight of the vehicle can be reduced, costs can be controlled, and energy-saving effects can be achieved.
3. Application of Modified Plastics in Sports Equipment
Sports equipment and sports goods need to adapt to different indoor and outdoor environments and provide protection for athletes in terms of strength, toughness, stress, and wear resistance based on different sports.
