The plastic green wave is unstoppable

The past years of CHINAPLAS are all events in the plastics industry. New products, new technologies, and new trends in the industry can be seen from this first exhibition of plastics in Asia. After experiencing the baptism of the global financial crisis, this year's show is crowded with enthusiasm, popularity has once again increased, and new technologies and products that focus on low-carbon, energy-saving and emission-reducing, and car weight reduction have appeared in succession.
Bio-based plastics are particularly eye-catching. When reporters asked about new polyamide products, multinational companies such as Rhodia, DSM, Evonik, and DuPont used bio-based polyamides based on castor oil as their raw material. It is a coincidence.
In an interview, Frank Laganier, Rhodia's Asia Pacific director of engineering plastics, said: "Bio-based engineering plastics technology will certainly become a trend in the technical product market in the future." Technyl eXten is a bio-based polyamide 610 that is partially castor oil. According to the company's assessment, compared with traditional polyamide products, the consumption of non-renewable resources per ton of new products is reduced by 20%, and greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by about 50%.
DSM Engineering Plastics Co., Ltd. introduced EcoPaXX, a polyamide 410 base material containing castor oil. Mr. Chen Wenliang, general manager of DSM Engineering Plastics Taiwan, said that his “from cradle to gate” is carbon-neutral, that is, carbon dioxide produced during the production of the polymer, which can be absorbed by the castor beans during the growth process. Completely offset.
Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation exhibited two new bio-based materials, GS Pla (Bio-PBS) and Bio-EP. According to the original withdrawal plan of the company's petrochemical development department's sustainable resources development department planning department head, GS Pla, which is an aliphatic polyester, has obtained a compost certification and is expected to become an upgraded substitute for polylactic acid. The newly developed Bio-EP is an oxygen-containing aliphatic polycarbonate copolymer with biobutanol as the third monomer, which can replace traditional glass and other materials on new optical instruments and automotive components. According to the original withdrawal of V, Mitsubishi is building a 3,000-ton/year Bio-EP pilot plant in Japan. It is expected that samples will be provided externally in July this year and will be officially launched in 2012.
In addition, DuPont's Zytel polyamide 610 and polyamide 1010, as well as Evonik's VESTAMID Terra polyamide 1010 series, are all new products based on castor oil. PolyOne demonstrated its biodegradable material PHBV (polyhydroxybutyrate valerate copolyester), GLS Versaflex biothermoplastic elastomer with biotechnology up to 70%, and OnColor BIO and OnCap BIO series for biodegradable polymers. additive.
The halogen-free wave is even more surging. “Non-halogen flame-retardant is a new trend in the industry, especially in the electronics industry.” Thomas Petzel, global business director of Tecona Vectra Liquid Crystal Polymers, said at the company’s CHINAPLAS press conference: “We are new. The launch of this G-Series product can replace traditional polyamide applications in the industry and help customers achieve halogen-free flame retardant requirements."
The GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers division of PolyOne’s Special Engineering Materials business focuses on the introduction of two new grades of halogen-free flame-retardant (HFFR) thermoplastic elastomer products; DSM highlights Stanyl CR – the newest A halogen-free, high-temperature, high-flowability polyamide with a flame retardance rating of UL94-V0 for the electronics industry; SABIC Innovative Plastics introduces a breakthrough Lexan polycarbonate (PC) film technology, Lexan EFR film , Can provide halogen-free flame retardancy with a thinner film than flame retardant PP; LANXESS exhibited halogen-free flame-retardant plastic Durethan polyamide and Pocan polyester products, both with excellent flame-retardant properties, electrical properties and high flow Sexuality...
The concept car accelerates the development of materials. Bayer, BASF, Exxon Mobil, Samsung Total, and Teijin were formed... When people walked through the booths of these chemical multinational giants, they could not help but pick up their cameras and beautiful new cars.
"I came an hour early and made a rough roundabout and found that at least four or five companies are using concept cars to promote new materials. This has been rare in the past." This is the president of Evonik Greater China. Dr. Yu Dahai has seen a major change in CHINAPLAS this year.
The i-mode concept car jointly designed and manufactured by Bayer MaterialScience and Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd. still attracted a large number of audiences on the last day of the exhibition. The concept car's panoramic roof, front and rear windshields and side windows, and large and small lampshades use Makrolon polycarbonate instead of traditional glass. This replacement can not only reduce the quality by half, but also make the design more free, and it has a revolutionary significance for the lightweight and individualization of the car.
The China debut of BASF's i-flow concept car in cooperation with Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd. was also dedicated to CHINAPLAS. According to reports, in i-flow, not only plastic parts reduce the vehicle weight as much as possible, but also its energy-saving concept can serve as a model for high-tech applications. Its advanced diesel engine is surrounded by a rigid polyurethane foam insulation system, which protects the engine and is environmentally friendly, providing a new solution to the sustainable development of transportation.
When talking about why the concept car was moved to the plastic exhibitor? The reporter’s response was that the process of lightening the car has been accelerated, and it has become an indisputable fact that the entire vehicle company hopes to realize the adoption of plastic substitute steel on more components and continuously refurbish the vehicle. Although some innovations have not yet been used in any commercially produced vehicles, they have demonstrated to people the infinite possibilities of the future cars and the infinite possibilities of material development. Participating in the early stages of R&D will give full play to the advantages of raw material companies, and will also allow these international companies to move faster.
