China's adhesive production ranks first in the world

The relevant data shows that by 2005, the actual total output of adhesives in China will reach 3.67 million tons, with a total output value of 24.75 billion yuan. At that time, only 45,000 tons of high-quality epoxy resin adhesives will be produced in China with an output value of about 1.2 billion yuan. The total output of epoxy adhesives in China will account for the second in the world, but its total output value only accounts for 7% of the world total. Obviously, the imbalance between the total output and the total economy has seriously hampered the development of this industry.

The main reason is that due to the irrational product structure, new product development and technological innovation can not keep up with the market demand. In particular, the market information and circulation form are still relatively backward. If this situation is not changed, it will seriously affect and restrict the development of China's epoxy resin and adhesive industry and other industries.

With China's successful accession to the WTO, and in order to comply with the development of the world's industry trends, China's epoxy adhesive products, should also be from low-grade to high-grade progressive, from low value-added to high value-added growth. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to improve the technical content of adhesive products, reduce environmental pollution, improve product structure, and vigorously develop high-quality epoxy resin adhesive products. It is crucial to establish an advanced market circulation mechanism and form and to integrate with the international market.

Epoxy resin is a thermosetting polymer material with excellent mechanical strength, adhesion, insulation and corrosion resistance. Its excellent physical mechanical and electrical insulation properties, adhesive properties with various materials, and its process flexibility are not possessed by other thermosetting polymer synthetic materials. Therefore, it can be made into paints, composite casting materials, adhesives, molding material casting materials and injection molding materials.

Epoxy resin has been widely used in various fields of the national economy. It can produce a wide variety of coatings, adhesives, and composite materials. It has been widely used in many industries such as electronic information, aerospace, petrochemicals, and machinery and metallurgy. use. The amount of epoxy resin used, the level of application, and the degree of secondary processing capability are important criteria for measuring the level of industrial development in a country. The development of high-tech epoxy secondary processing products is a prerequisite for the rapid development of the above industries. At the same time, the secondary processing of epoxy has the characteristics of no environmental pollution, high technical content, and high economic added value.

At present, the annual output of epoxy resin in the world is about 1.7 million tons, of which three industrial developed countries in Western Europe, the United States, and Japan account for 1 million tons, accounting for about 60%. The production and consumption of epoxy resin in Asia, except Japan is Korea, Taiwan. (South Korea accounted for 6% of the total); China's production and consumption of epoxy resins have been continuously and continuously growing with the national economy. Especially in recent years, due to the extraordinary development of China's fine chemicals, special coatings, composite materials and adhesives industry, it has driven the rapid development of the entire electronic products, composite materials processing industry and other related high-tech industries. It has played a key role in maintaining a sustained and more rapid development of our national economy.

With China's accession to the WTO, epoxy resins and adhesive products are developing at an extraordinary rate. At present, China is the third largest producer of epoxy resin in the world. The forecast of China Epoxy Resin Industry Association shows that in 2005 China's epoxy resin production will be increased from 300,000 tons/year to 400,000 tons/year, and imports will also be Up to 300,000 tons/year. In the next few years, domestic epoxy resin production will soon rise to more than 500,000 tons/year. As a result, it became the largest country in the production, application, and import and export of epoxy resins and adhesives.
