The development of modern plastics industry is inseparable from composite materials, and composite materials play a very important role in the field of plastic processing and plastic machinery. With the deepening of composite materials research and the extension of practical applications, the international community has regarded it as one of the standards to measure the national scientific and technological level.
New materials synthesized from plastics and other materials can have a variety of properties. To a large extent, they can obtain other non-metallic/metal properties on the basis of retaining some of the characteristics of plastics, achieve breakthroughs in materials, and provide new opportunities for other industrial fields. Development opportunities.
Special material for ultra-high flow polyethylene composite materials
Special materials for ultra-high flow polyethylene composite materials are widely used in the fields of automobile interior and exterior trims, ship decorative panels and sports and leisure products. my country's market for this material mainly relies on imports, which largely limits the development and progress of related industries. After continuous exploration, Yangzi Petrochemical took the lead in developing it successfully. Relevant downstream manufacturers said that the special materials for ultra-high flow polyethylene composite materials developed by Yangzi Petrochemical surpassed similar imported materials in terms of processing performance, surface properties and mechanical properties of composite materials.
The successful development of Yangzi Petrochemical not only enriches the variety of high-end composite materials in my country, breaks the market monopoly and enhances the core competitiveness of the industry, but also indirectly helps downstream manufacturers such as automotive interior and exterior trims, ship decorative panels and sports and leisure products to improve their market competitiveness. Loosen the "string" on the neck of the industry development.
"Composite digital production system"
Through cutting-edge technologies and processes, SABIC shortens the cycle time of thermoplastic composites and reduces production costs. Thermoplastic composites are favored because of their light weight and high strength. However, factors such as slow production speed and high price have plagued the development and application of thermoplastic composites. With the help of automation and digital technology, SABIC has developed a "composite material digital production system" to help solve the above problems.
The birth of SABIC's "Composite Digital Production System" makes it possible to produce thermoplastic composites on a large scale. With the development of technology level, it is not far to realize the mass production of customized thermoplastic composite parts that are affordable to customers, fast production speed, and high-quality product quality. Home electronics, automotive, aerospace... These fields will benefit a lot from thermoplastic composites.
Fiber Reinforced Composites
Fiber-reinforced composites are doing amazing things in small electronics, thermally insulated facades and wind power. The increasing demand for high-strength and lightweight materials in various industries and the improvement of material performance requirements are also driving the development of the entire fiber-reinforced composite materials industry.
Covestro has rich experience and strong strength in the development, utilization and application of composite materials. Its continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite material made of polycarbonate can bring a thin, comfortable, beautiful appearance to electronic products and reduce production costs; it can manufacture wind power rotor blades nearly 60 meters long, and it is more cost-effective to use wind turbines ,cut costs.
