The ABS high rubber powder market has broad development space and the production capacity of Chinese enterprises needs to be improved.
ABS rubber powder is a terpolymer of three monomers: acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B), and styrene (S). It has excellent thermal stability, compatibility, electrical insulation, and mechanical processing. It can be used as the main raw material to make ABS resin; it can be used to produce ABS alloy products, including PA/ABS alloy, PMMA/ABS alloy, PBT/ABS alloy, etc.; it can be used to produce ABS modified products ; Can be used to produce special materials, including high-impact, flame-retardant, heat-resistant materials, etc.
Among them, ABS resin is the main downstream product of ABS high rubber powder. When using high rubber powder to prepare ABS resin, you only need to add a small amount of ABS high rubber powder. However, when using low rubber powder, you need to add about 30% of ABS low rubber powder. It can be produced, so using high rubber powder to prepare ABS resin can reduce production costs and improve product performance, which has higher advantages.
According to the “2023-2028 ABS High Rubber Powder Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center , ABS resin is a thermoplastic polymer material with the advantages of high strength, good toughness, easy processing, and good wear resistance. It has become one of the five major synthetic resins and is used in automobiles, electronics, home appliances, daily chemicals and other fields. widely. In 2022, my country’s ABS resin production capacity will be approximately 4.873 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.9%. Against the background of the rapid development of downstream industries and the continuous upgrading of market demand, the demand for ABS high rubber powder continues to increase. In 2022, the domestic demand for ABS high rubber powder will exceed 300,000 tons, and the market demand space is vast.
The technical barriers to the production of ABS high rubber powder are relatively high. Currently, the number of domestic companies in this field is relatively small. There are only Shandong Yigong Material Technology, Shandong Ruifeng Polymer Materials, Ganzhou Nengzhiguang New Materials, and Jiangxi Yuefeng Group Environmental New Materials. , Shandong Wanda Chemical, Wanhua Chemical Group and a few other companies. Among them, Ruifeng High Materials is one of the leading companies in the domestic ABS high rubber powder industry. The company has achieved small batch production and sales of ABS high rubber powder. In the future, as local companies continue to expand production capacity, my country’s ABS high rubber powder output is expected to continue to increase.
Due to technical limitations, the current market demand for ABS high rubber powder in my country still relies on imports. Germany’s BASF, South Korea’s Kumho, South Korea’s Lotte, South Korea’s LG, Japan’s Techno-UMG, etc. are the main suppliers of ABS high-glue powder in my country. There is broad room for domestic substitution in the domestic market in the future.
Industry analysts said that ABS high rubber powder can reduce production costs, To improve product performance, the demand for ABS high rubber powder continues to increase under the background of the continuous upgrading of ABS resin market requirements. However, due to technical limitations, there are currently relatively few ABS high-glue powder manufacturers in my country, and the products are highly dependent on imported products. Therefore, in the future, local companies will need to continue to improve their technical level and increase production capacity construction to promote the continuous acceleration of the domestic substitution process in the domestic market.
