MS resin (styrene-methyl methacrylate copolymer resin) has a wide range of uses. MS glue is its end product.
MS resin, also known as styrene-methyl methacrylate copolymer resin, is a thermoplastic. MS resin combines the optical properties and weather resistance of methyl methacrylate, and also has the advantages of low hygroscopicity and good processing fluidity. It is used in household appliances, office supplies, automobile manufacturing, food packaging, adhesives, daily necessities and other fields. widely.
The main synthesis method of MS resin is suspension polymerization. The suspension polymerization method refers to first producing styrene and methyl methacrylate, and then going through processes such as distillation, filtration, and drying to obtain finished products. This method has the advantages of good finished product quality and high raw material utilization, and is suitable for continuous production. In recent years, Chinese companies and related scientific research institutions have continuously improved and optimized the synthesis methods of MS resin, leading to further improvements in output and quality. At present, some companies in my country have the production capacity of high-performance MS resin.
MS glue is a MS resin terminal product. It has the characteristics of strong adhesion, green environmental protection, wide range of applications, good weather resistance, high mold resistance, excellent coating performance, etc. It is a new type of building sealing. For a long time, the global MS glue market has been dominated by Japan and European and American countries. There are only a small number of Chinese companies and their products have a low market share. In the future, as the prosperity of the green building materials industry increases, my country’s MS glue market demand will increase, which will provide favorable conditions for the development of the MS resin industry.
According to the “2023-2028 China MS resin (styrene-methyl methacrylate copolymer resin) industry market in-depth research and development prospect forecast released by the Industrial Research Center Report” shows that MS resin is widely used, including household appliances, office supplies, automobile manufacturing, food packaging, adhesives, daily necessities, etc. In the field of household appliances, MS resin can be used to produce nameplates for household appliances; in the field of office supplies, MS resin can be used to produce printed parts; in the field of automobile manufacturing, MS resin can be used to produce car lampshades and other parts; in the field of food packaging, MS resin can produce food can linings, food packaging films, food packaging sheets, etc.
Major players in the global MS resin market include LyondellBasell of the Netherlands, Denka Corporation of Japan, Chimei Industrial Co., Ltd. of Taiwan, Styrolution of Germany, etc. Compared with overseas developed countries, my country’s MS resin market has fewer participants, and Chimei Industrial has long occupied a dominant position in my country’s MS resin market. Wanhua Chemical, Real Madrid Technology, Blue Star Group, etc. are the main suppliers of MS resin in my country. Wanhua Chemical has the production capacity of kiloton optical grade MS resin.
Industry analysts People said that MS resin has a wide range of application fields. In the future, with the continuous release of downstream demand, the development trend of the industry will continue to improve. my country’s MS resin industry started late, and foreign-funded enterprises have long dominated the Chinese market. In the future, as local companies continue to optimize their industrial structure and layout and improve their independent research and development capabilities, my country’s MS resin will gain broad market prospects.
