At present, China has a large amount of epoxy resin gaps, but domestic production of conventional products has been relatively surplus, domestic enterprises should avoid low-level redundant construction, and accelerate the development of unconventional products has become the top priority for the development of China's epoxy resin industry.
Epoxy resin is a type of polymer prepolymer containing two or more epoxy groups in its molecular structure. It is an important thermosetting resin and is widely used in coatings, machinery, electronics, transportation, automobile manufacturing, and construction. , aerospace and other fields. At present, China has a large amount of epoxy resin gaps, but domestic production of conventional products has been relatively surplus. Accelerating the development of non-conventional products has become the top priority for the development of China's epoxy resin industry.
Smooth supply and demand in foreign countries Currently, global epoxy resin production and consumption are mainly concentrated in Western Europe, the United States, and Japan. In 2005, the global (excluding China) epoxy resin capacity was 1.8 million tons, and the consumption was 1.2 million tons, of which the total capacity and consumption in Western Europe, the United States, and Japan exceeded 1.2 million tons and 800,000 tons, respectively, accounting for the global total. 2/3.
The world's major epoxy resin producers are Resolution, Dow Chemical and Vantico, with capacities of 415,000 tons/year, 239,000 tons/year and 235,000 tons/year, respectively. The combined production capacity of the above three companies accounts for the world's total 56% of capacity. In order to enhance competitiveness, in addition to Vantico, the remaining two companies have formed a complete industrial chain that combines raw materials and downstream products. In addition, the production capacities of Japan's Toto Kasei Co., Ltd., Daejeon Ink Co., Japan Epoxy Resins Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and South Korea's Ministry of Chemicals (joint venture with Japan Toto Chemical Co., Ltd.) also accounted for a large proportion.
In developed countries, the epoxy resin application technology is mature, and the application field is very extensive. Among them, the demand for high-grade coatings for epoxy resin exceeds half of its total demand. Bisphenol A epoxy resin accounted for more than 80% of the total consumption of epoxy resin, followed by brominated bisphenol A type and phenolic epoxy resin, other special epoxy resin consumption is relatively small, but in recent years, rapid growth .
At present, the global epoxy resin production capacity has apparently been surplus. It is estimated that by 2010, the global average growth rate for epoxy resin will be 3%, and that for the United States, Western Europe and Japan will be 2%, 2.5% and -0.5%, respectively.
Insufficient domestic production requires China's epoxy resin production capacity of 108,000 tons in 2000, output of 100,000 tons and consumption of 2.166 million tons. In 2005, output and consumption will increase to 350,000 tons and 650,000 tons, respectively, with an average annual growth rate of It is 28.5% and 24.5%.
China's epoxy resin consumption field is basically the same as foreign countries, mainly used in four major areas such as coatings, composite materials, electronic appliances, adhesives. In 2005, the demand for epoxy resin in the coatings industry in China was 100,000 tons. It is expected that the average annual growth rate of epoxy resin consumption in the paint field before 2010 will be 9%; the consumption of electronic and electrical materials, composite materials, and adhesives It was 250,000 tons, 80,000 tons and 10,000 tons respectively.
At present, there are more than 200 epoxy resin manufacturers in China, but only 12 manufacturers have a capacity of over 0.5 million tons per year. At present, the production capacity of epoxy resin to be built in various regions is 550,000 tons/year. It is estimated that the production capacity of epoxy resin in China will reach 1 million tons/year in 2010, accounting for more than 50% of the total global production capacity. By then, China will become the world's largest epoxy resin. Producing countries.
Although the production of epoxy resin in China has grown rapidly, the gap between supply and demand continues to expand, and imports have increased year by year. In 2000, the net import volume of epoxy resin in China was 117,100 tons. In 2005, it increased to 165,100 tons. In 2006, it exceeded 200,000 tons. China's epoxy resin imports accounts for 1/2 of the total world trade volume. The booming demand in China and the rising prices of raw materials worldwide have led to the rise in the price of epoxy resins in recent years and the rising cost of imports.
The large number of global epoxy resin end users has also promoted the strong growth of China's epoxy resin demand. Dow expects China's consumption to reach 900,000 - 1 million tons in 2010.
Solution: Targeting Unconventional Products At present, the epoxy resin products of developed countries are in the mature period of the product life cycle, and the product production, sales network and after-sales service are perfect. In the future, the development direction of developed countries' epoxy resins will mainly focus on the development of product applications and the development of high-end products. The major companies have a clear division of the epoxy resin business, and their potential target markets are concentrated in Asia, especially in East China and South China.
Although China has a large amount of epoxy resin gaps, domestic production of conventional products has been relatively surplus, domestic enterprises should avoid low-level redundant construction, and accelerating the development of non-conventional products has become the top priority for the development of China's epoxy resin industry.
Experts believe that domestic enterprises should accelerate development in several areas. First, expand the production of 618 or E-51 base resin. Because the bisphenol A epoxy system products are the mainstream of the world's epoxy industry, the foreign mainstream market uses 618 epoxy resin as the base resin, while our country is mainly based on 6101 or E-44 for a long time. Domestic enterprises should pay attention to the production of 618 or E-51 base resin.
Second, accelerate the development of special products that are in short supply in the market. China's epoxy resin companies mostly grab the market in terms of general-purpose bisphenol-A epoxy resins, and the markets for heat-resistant, flame-retardant, water-based, and high-purity products are mostly occupied by foreign companies. For domestic companies to further develop, they should strengthen phenolic epoxy resin, o-cresol formaldehyde epoxy resin, bisphenol F epoxy resin, alicyclic epoxy resin, phosphorus-containing epoxy resin and light-curing epoxy resin, water-based ring The market development of oxygen resin and other products, the development of curing agents, reactive diluents and other additives should also be accelerated.
Third, plan eco-friendly product development as soon as possible. The increasingly stringent environmental and safety performance requirements for products at home and abroad will have a profound impact on the market for the application of epoxy resins. Enterprises should plan as soon as possible. For example, copper-clad laminates, flame-retardant electrical castables, etc., originally use brominated epoxy resins in large quantities, but bromide will be reduced or prevented from being used in the future due to the destruction of the ozone layer. Therefore, non-halogenated flame-retardant epoxy resin production should be accelerated.
Fourth, improve the ability to transform results. China's epoxy resin industry is not too late to start, but development is not fast enough. While strengthening the research and development of domestic enterprises, it is necessary to strengthen the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and market development of new products.
Fifth, open up the international market. At present, the demand for epoxy resin in Southeast Asia, Latin America and other regions has experienced rapid growth. Strong domestic companies are striving to achieve success in these emerging markets and reduce the competitive pressure in the domestic market. Currently, Bluestar New Materials Wuxi Resin Factory and other enterprises have already achieved volume export. Although the total volume is not large, it has grown rapidly. This also shows that China's epoxy resin industry already has the ability to enter the international market.
