The Future Trend of PVC Resin
PVC is a kind of plastic used widely in building materials. Therefore, it will not be replaced for a long time in the future, and it will have great application prospects in less developed areas in the future. As we all know, there are two ways to produce PVC, one is the international common ethylene method, and the other is the unique calcium carbide method in China. The sources of ethylene method are mainly petroleum, while the sources of calcium carbide method are mainly coal, limestone and salt. These resources are mainly concentrated in China. For a long time, China’s PVC of calcium carbide method has been in an absolute leading position. Especially from 2008 to 2014, China’s PVC production capacity of calcium carbide method has been increasing, but it has also brought ... -
What is PVC Resin?
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a polymer polymerized by vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) in peroxide, azo compound and other initiators or according to the free radical polymerization mechanism under the action of light and heat. Vinyl chloride homopolymer and vinyl chloride copolymer are collectively referred to as vinyl chloride resin. PVC was once the world’s largest general-purpose plastic, which was widely used. It is widely used in building materials, industrial products, daily necessities, floor leather, floor tiles, artificial leather, pipes, wires and cables, packaging film, bottles, foaming materials, sealing materials, fibers and so on. According to the different application scope, PVC can be divided into: general-purpose PVC resin, high degree of polymerization PVC resin and ... -
The export arbitrage window of PVC continues to open
In terms of supplying aspect, calcium carbide, last week, the mainstream market price of calcium carbide was reduced by 50-100 yuan / ton. The overall operating load of calcium carbide enterprises was relatively stable, and the supply of goods was sufficient. Affected by the epidemic, the transportation of calcium carbide is not smooth, the factory price of enterprises is lowered to allow profit transportation, the cost pressure of calcium carbide is large, and the short-term decline is expected to be limited. The start-up load of PVC upstream enterprises has increased. The maintenance of most enterprises is concentrated in the middle and late April, and the start-up load will remain relatively high in the short term. Affected by the epidemic, the operating loa... -

China’s polylactic acid (PLA) industry chain in 2021
1. Overview of industrial chain: The full name of polylactic acid is poly lactic acid or poly lactic acid. It is a high molecular polyester material obtained by polymerization with lactic acid or lactic acid dimer lactide as monomer. It belongs to a synthetic high molecular material and has the characteristics of biological basis and degradability. At present, polylactic acid is a biodegradable plastic with the most mature industrialization, the largest output and the most widely used in the world. The upstream of polylactic acid industry is all kinds of basic raw materials, such as corn, sugarcane, sugar beet, etc., the middle reaches is the preparation of polylactic acid, and the downstream is mainly the application of poly... -
The biodegradable polymer PBAT is hitting the big time
The perfect polymer—one that balances physical properties and environmental performance—doesn’t exist, but polybutylene adipate co-terephthalate (PBAT) comes closer than many. Producers of synthetic polymers have for decades failed to stop their products from ending up in landfills and oceans, and they are now under pressure to take responsibility. Many are redoubling efforts to boost recycling to fend off critics. Other firms are trying to tackle the waste problem by investing in biodegradable biobased plastics such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), hoping natural degradation will mitigate at least some of the waste. But both recycling and biopolymers face obstacles. Despite years... -

South Korea’s YNCC hit by fatal Yeosu cracker explosion
Shanghai, 11 February (Argus) — South Korean petrochemical producer YNCC's No.3 naphtha cracker at its Yeosu complex suffered an explosion today that killed four workers. The 9.26am (12:26 GMT) incident resulted in another four workers hospitalized with serious or minor injuries, according to fire department authorities. YNCC had been carrying out tests on a heat exchanger at the cracker following maintenance. The No.3 cracker produces 500,000 t/yr of ethylene and 270,000 t/yr of propylene at full production capacity. YNCC also operates two other crackers at Yeosu, the 900,000 t/yr No.1 and 880,000 t/yr No.2. Their operations have unaffected by. -
