China masterbatch industry started in the mid-70s of last century. After 30 years, especially in the 1990s to the present rapid development, China's masterbatch industry with an annual output capacity of 300,000 tons, the basic to meet the needs of plastics and chemical fiber industry. The next few years, China is expected to masterbatch industry will enter a steady stage of development, towards the multi-functional, high pigment content and high-tech content forward.
    

Regional characteristics are obvious
        
      China's masterbatch industry is currently showing the South strong North weak, strong trend of the East strong West, with an annual output capacity of more than 1,000 tons of the industry is the pillar of the development of the industry. China's existing masterbatch production enterprises more than 250, of which more than 50 large enterprises more than 60% of total capacity, mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai area, especially with an annual output of more than 1,000 tons of large enterprises are mainly gathered in the South.
       This distribution also presents the same trend as China's economic development. Some excellent masterbatch enterprises can be tailored according to customer requirements of the masterbatch varieties, the enterprises have their own characteristics and expertise, can basically meet the needs of domestic customers, many masterbatch plant can also produce functional masterbatch and plastic Modified material.
      Domestic production capacity of masterbatch by geographical distribution, the largest capacity in Guangdong, accounting for 41.82% of total capacity; Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai accounted for 33%; Shandong 10.62%. These areas accounted for more than 85% of China's masterbatch production capacity. Thus, the southeast coast of China's masterbatch industry development of the main areas.

Varieties tend to be diverse
            
      Chinese masterbatch varieties than the whole, general-purpose products have been fully able to meet the needs of the domestic plastics processing industry. Domestic masterbatch varieties distribution, according to the color of the masterbatch varieties analysis, black and white masterbatch almost accounted for 80% of the total masterbatch production, color masterbatch only 20%, there is still a large part of the need to rely on imports The
      In the masterbatch production, fiber masterbatch on the technical and raw materials require a higher, and masterbatch production technology is also due to the color of polypropylene fiber. Domestic fiber masterbatch with an annual output of 2.6 tons, accounting for 10% of the total masterbatch. It can be seen that the masterbatch of this technology to solve the problem of polypropylene coloring invention in the field of plastic coloring has been more widely used.
      PET and PP fiber in China has developed rapidly, and PA fiber market share is less, PET, PP, PA fiber masterbatch production ratio is currently 68.2%, 30.2% and 1.6%. With the multinational company PA project settled in China, China PA color masterbatch research and development must also catch up.
      With the rapid development of China's engineering plastics in recent years, PA, PC, fluorine plastic and other engineering plastics and special engineering plastics on the masterbatch made a higher demand. Beijing University of Chemical Technology School of Materials Science and Engineering recently developed a successful polyfluoro ethylene propylene masterbatch, to fill the gaps in the development process of a good solution to the raw material selection, formulation and production process adjustment and other problems, the successful preparation of white, Yellow, green, blue, red, orange, brown, black full color polyfluoroethylene propylene masterbatch, used in wire and cable, electrical performance and mechanical properties fully meet the requirements. The successful development of this project, for the development of high-grade masterbatch for engineering plastics in China has laid a good theoretical and practical basis.

Foreigners have beachhead
      
      China has now become one of Asia's largest masterbatch producers and demand countries, but also the future of the world's largest demand market. According to relevant information, other Asian countries demand for masterbatch average annual growth rate of about 7% to 9%, while China's annual demand for masterbatch growth rate of about 20%, China will become the fastest growing demand for masterbatch Of the market. This attractive cake has attracted international masterbatch giants have to seize the Chinese market.
      In the 1990s, foreign masterbatch companies began to enter China. In September 2000, GeonandM.A.Hanna co-founded the world's largest polymer services company --- POLYONE, and in China, Shanghai, Suzhou, Shenzhen has a masterbatch and engineering plastics production base. In September 2005, POLYONE Shenzhen base for a large-scale expansion, built seven production lines.
      The United States PMC subsidiary PCC company is building a masterbatch factory in Nanjing, a project is expected to capacity of 50 tons / month liquid masterbatch for PET blowing, the main use of foreign paint such as BASF, Ciba and other products, Phase II project is expected to produce solid masterbatch.
      In addition to the original United States, Switzerland, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, also in China to build factories, especially some special engineering plastic color masterbatch occupy the advantage of high-end market, leading to further intensify competition.

Raw materials become diversified
             
       The quality of masterbatch depends to a large extent on the supply of raw materials such as pigments and dispersants. China's plastic pigments after years of development has also made great progress, domestic such as Jiehong, Lily, Yabang and some titanium dioxide and carbon black production of pigment quality, to meet the requirements of masterbatch. Foreign paint manufacturers DuPont, Clariant, Ciba, BASF, etc. have set up factories in China, for the domestic masterbatch production provides high-grade paint. Domestic pigments and foreign mid-range pigment level, but compared with high-grade pigments, product purity, especially in the pigment surface treatment there is a certain gap.
        Dispersant is a masterbatch for the pigment to provide infiltration, dispersion, stability of the additives, the Chinese masterbatch market dispersant mainly used polyethylene wax, a polymer type, cracking type, by-product type. Aggregate technology to produce low molecular weight polyethylene, represented by Honeywell as a number of foreign companies mainly supply polymer products. Beijing University of Chemical Technology is a typical representative of the cracking technology, Daqing, Yangtze, Yanshan and other petrochemical enterprises mainly by the by-product refined low molecular weight polyethylene.
          These three types of low molecular weight polyethylene each occupy a certain market. Multinational companies in China's masterbatch enterprises and domestic masterbatch core business use of polymer wax or imported wax more, and low-end masterbatch products generally use more low-grade by-product wax, the wax mainly in the price of possession Great advantage, the domestic Jiangyin area with Xu small polyethylene wax production plant.
          In addition, in recent years, China has also imported from South Korea, Thailand, the same type of wax products, the annual import volume of more than 3,000 tons. The quality of the pyrolysis wax is good, and it occupies a very important position in the dispersant for the masterbatch, but because the price is slightly lower than the polymerized wax, it is much higher than the by-product wax, and thus has a certain impact in the market. Domestic masterbatch market popular compound wax also has a certain market, such as in the polyethylene wax mixed with liquid paraffin or add other cheap additives. This wax because of a certain price advantage, but also occupy a certain market.
         For polyolefin masterbatch, the country has no special grades of carrier resin production. Polyolefin masterbatch used in the first generation of carrier resin for the random polypropylene, the second generation of carrier resin for the low density polyethylene, in recent years has also developed a linear low density polyethylene as a carrier resin, but there is no large-scale supply market. And other varieties of masterbatch use of colored resin as the same kind of masterbatch carrier resin.

   
Golden color summary

    
      At present, China's masterbatch industry is towards multi-functional, high pigment content and high-tech content direction. In order to comply with the development trend, the domestic pigment, dispersant, carrier resin and equipment related enterprises, should improve the technical content of its products for the masterbatch manufacturers to provide high-quality pigments, dispersants, special grades of carrier resin and advanced production equipment , Detection equipment and application software.
      Masterbatch manufacturers should strengthen the overall quality management, to produce a stable quality, variety, full-featured masterbatch products, to promote China's plastics and fiber industry to contribute to the development.
