Super tough nylon has excellent comprehensive properties and the industry development speed is accelerating
Super tough nylon refers to a type of nylon with strong impact resistance. Under dry or low temperature conditions, its impact strength is seventeen times higher than ordinary nylon. It is one of the subcategories of modified nylon. Super tough nylon has excellent low temperature resistance, impact toughness, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance, dimensional stability, shrinkage, water absorption, etc., and can be widely used in automobiles, textiles, leather, electronics, Medical, construction, packaging, sports equipment and other fields.
Specifically, in the automotive field, super-tough nylon can be used in parts manufacturing scenarios such as body structures, seat frames, tires, hoods, cylinder head covers, etc.; in the mechanical field, super-tough nylon can be used in gears, bearings, pumps, etc. leaves and other industrial parts manufacturing scenarios; in the electronics field, super-tough nylon can be used in product manufacturing scenarios such as electrical accessories, cable sheaths, electronic connectors, circuit breaker accessories, motor accessories, etc.; in the packaging field, super-tough nylon can be used in packaging films In the material manufacturing scene, it plays a role in improving the waterproof ability and wear resistance of packaging materials.
According to the “Super Tough Nylon Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center, The comprehensive performance of super-tough nylon is better than that of ordinary nylon, and its application range is wider. In recent years, benefiting from the continuous development of downstream industries, the demand for super-tough nylon in my country has continued to increase and its scale has continued to expand. In 2022, the domestic super-tough nylon market will reach 930 million yuan, with a year-on-year growth of approximately 13%.
From the production end, super tough nylon is mainly based on nylon 6 or nylon 66, blended with polyolefin elastomer, and uses thermal grafting method to graft fumaric acid or maleic anhydride onto the elastomer. , produced by the reaction of carboxyl and amino groups. Among them, nylon 6 or nylon 66, polyolefin elastomers, etc. are important raw materials for the production of super-tough nylon. As the world’s major nylon and polyolefin producer, my country’s output of nylon 6, nylon 66, and polyolefin elastomers continues to increase, and market supply relatively sufficient. Therefore, the current development of my country’s super-tough nylon industry is also favored by the sufficient supply of upstream raw materials.
In recent years, the number of super-tough nylon manufacturers in my country has continued to increase. The main companies include Beijing Xin Sanyuan Plastics, Nantong Wanye New Materials, Nantong Weide Plastics, Huizhou Huaju Plastic Technology, Guangdong Yongxinhua New Materials, Chuzhou Ji Shengxin Materials, Guangdong Shunweiseite Engineering Plastics, Kingfa Technology, Shanghai Jinshan Jinhu Rili Plastics, etc.
Industry analysts said that super tough nylon is a modified product of nylon, and its overall performance is better than ordinary Nylon has broad development prospects in automobiles, machinery, packaging, electronics, construction, medical and other fields. At the same time, super-tough nylon belongs to a type of grafted polymer. Its raw materials, such as nylon 6, nylon 66, and polyolefin elastomers, are in relatively sufficient supply, and the domestic industry has a good foundation for development. With favorable conditions upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, the number of companies entering the super-tough nylon market in my country is increasing, market competition is gradually strengthening, and the industry’s development is expected to continue to accelerate in the future.
