"By 2020, the output of colored yarns in the chemical fiber industry will increase from the current 3 million tons to 6 million to 10 million tons, and the demand for high-functional masterbatches will also greatly increase, which will bring tremendous development to the masterbatch industry. Opportunity.” On September 26, the China Chemical News reporter received such information at the 2016 National Plastic Coloring and Masterbatch Academic Trade and Information Exchange Conference held in Guiyang.
According to Qiao Hui, secretary general of the Masterbatch Specialty Committee of China Dyestuff Industry Association, the background of the global economic downturn in recent years has made the demand for low-end and middle-end masterbatches for pipe, film, and building materials drop more obviously. Therefore, companies should seize the color ribbons. Opportunities, vigorously develop chemical fiber masterbatch.
According to reports, during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the masterbatch industry will promote the development, production, and demonstration projects of PET halogen-free flame retardant full-color chemical fiber masterbatches to study the melt coloring technology and the dispersion of colorants in the melt. Uniform mixing technology to meet the requirements of PET fiber products for the practical application of non-halogen flame-retardants such as clothing, sheets, curtains, carpets, etc.; development of multi-functional plastic masterbatch, such as high-performance engineering plastic masterbatch, metal special effect masterbatch Granules and thermoplastic polyurethane full-color masterbatches meet the needs of high-performance, high-brightness, fluoroplastic masterbatch; vigorously promote the continuous mixing equipment of double-rotor mixers, reciprocating single-screw mixing equipment, twin-screw improved equipment The application in the masterbatches industry meets the different requirements of the high-production and high-efficiency granulation of the high-dispersion and large-scale petrochemical production lines in the chemical fiber and film industries and the requirements for device automation.
“The masterbatch industry has already taken the first step in the development of the 13th Five-Year Plan,” said Qiao Hui. On September 6, the development and application of high-quality raw liquid coloring fibers for the “Thirteenth Five-Year” national key R&D projects jointly submitted by 18 organizations including the China Textile Science Research Institute and Beijing University of Chemical Technology were officially launched. The project team established a database and standard for the preparation and application of colored liquid dyed fibers by studying the polymerization mechanism of polyester, polyamide pigmented fibers, spinning kinetics and color changes, and efficient and uniform dispersion techniques, and efficient masterbatch and paste preparation techniques. Standardization, the formation of process, equipment and control system of the pilot test platform, to achieve the preparation of liquid coloring fiber and industrial chain application demonstration. This project will greatly promote the rapid and sound development of China's polyester and polyamide pigmentation fiber industry.
The masterbatch special committee's survey of more than 200 domestic masterbatch companies shows that the current annual output of the masterbatch industry has reached or exceeded 1 million tons, and 80% of the enterprises are located in the southeastern coastal areas, with a production capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 tons. The main business.
