At present, engineering plastics are widely used in electrical and electronic, construction, intelligent machinery and many other industries, plastic instead of steel, plastic instead of wood has become a new trend in the international manufacturing industry, this trend will be more conducive to the development of the plastics industry. "Engineering Plastics refers to as engineering Materials and replace metal manufacturing machine parts and other plastics, it has excellent overall performance, high mechanical strength, good heat resistance, good electrical insulation and other characteristics." Ma Zhanfeng, secretary-general of the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, said. Ma Zhanfeng said, engineering Plastics as a fast-growing field in the world's plastics industry today, it is increasingly important in the modern manufacturing industry. For example, automobiles through the extensive use of plastic parts to achieve lightweight, the weight can be reduced by 10%, thus saving a lot of fuel consumption.
China Plastics Processing Industry Association Plastics Specialized Committee Chairman Zhu Jin said, due to the engineering plastics industry chain downstream market demand is concentrated in the automotive, home appliances, building materials and other industries, these industries in the leading enterprises in the production of large-scale, so the engineering The market demand for engineering plastics is also large.
In the past five years, China's engineering plastics annual demand growth rate of more than 12%, it is expected that the next five years, engineering plastics will be an average annual growth rate of 13% -18% of the development of not only higher than ordinary plastics and the entire petroleum and chemical industry development rate, but also much higher than the international engineering plastics industry of 4% -6%. 4%-6% of the international engineering plastics market demand growth.
