Characteristics of modified plastics
2021-01-27
Modified plastics are used in more and more downstream fields with their superior cost performance. It can be said that modified plastics have become a consumer trend, and the following five factors are hidden behind this trend:
High performance: Modified plastics not only have the advantages of traditional plastics, such as low density and corrosion resistance, but also have improved physical and mechanical properties, such as high strength, high toughness, high impact resistance, wear resistance and shock resistance. In addition The improvement of the comprehensive performance of plastics provides the basis for its wide application in downstream fields.
Low cost: Compared with other materials, plastic benefits from the advantages of high production efficiency and low density, and has a lower cost. The cost of plastic per unit volume is only about one-tenth of that of metal.
Government policy: The "3C" compulsory certification system implemented by China has strictly regulated the safety performance of products in the catalog, which has promoted the wide application of flame-retardant plastics in household appliances, IT, communications and other fields.
Consumption upgrade: With the improvement of living standards, people have begun to pursue more excellent product performance, requiring home appliances and other products to be more beautiful, safe, and durable, which puts forward higher requirements on the upstream plastics industry and requires better processing performance , Mechanical properties, durability and safety.
Technical factors: More than 1,000 kinds of polymers have been discovered in the world, but only dozens of them have real application value. The development of new polymers not only has huge investment, but also has uncertain application prospects; on the contrary, modification technology can not only improve the existing polymerization The properties of materials can meet the needs of the industry, and at the same time, it can reduce the cost of some high-priced engineering plastics, which has become an effective way to develop the plastics industry.
