Modification technology has effectively improved the properties of plastics, enabling them to be better applied in production. Modified plastics, as an emerging industry, is in a stage of rapid development. Especially in the fields of automobiles and home appliances, the application prospects of modified plastics are broad.
Modified plastics for vehicles
Faced with increasingly strict automobile fuel consumption regulations, major car companies are seeking various ways to reduce fuel consumption, including reducing body weight. By increasing the amount of modified plastics used in automobiles, the weight of the vehicle body can be reduced, resulting in lightweight vehicles and reducing fuel consumption.
The specific gravity of general plastics ranges from 0.9 to 1.6, while the specific gravity of glass fiber reinforced composite materials is within 2.0, while A3 steel is 7.6, brass is 8.4, and aluminum is 2.7. Therefore, although not as strong as carbon fiber or metal materials, plastic has the best lightweight effect in terms of specific gravity, making it the preferred material for automotive lightweight.
PP blend modified plastics are blended with PP matrix with compatibilizer, reinforcing agent, filler, coupling agent, cross-linking agent, melt flow rate regulator and anti-aging agent to modify PP and greatly improve its performance. Blending various synthetic rubber and PP to improve the low-temperature toughness of PP is a traditional process for producing PP bumper materials. Most bumper specific materials are toughened with EPDM. At present, SBS, SEBS (styrene ethylene butadiene styrene block copolymer) and other toughening methods are also used abroad, or EPDM is used in combination with SEBS, EPDM is used in combination with PE, etc. The Chinese bumper special materials mainly use PP/EPDM blending modification.
Modified plastics for household appliances
The home appliance industry is one of the most important downstream industries in the modified plastic industry. The application of modified materials in the home appliance field is becoming increasingly widespread. In the future, there will be six main trends in the modification of home appliance plastics: brighter appearance colors, continuous improvement of safety indicators, lightweight, healthy, low-cost, energy-saving and low-carbon.
The development cycle of new products for home appliance products is relatively short, and the update is fast. The demand for modified plastics is constantly changing, requiring modified plastic manufacturers to continuously improve their formulas according to customer needs. Modified plastics can be used to manufacture accessories such as shells, blades, and exteriors for household appliances. In addition to large household appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines, small household appliances such as rice cookers, hot pots, soybean milk machines, bread makers, electric ovens and microwave ovens are also growing in demand for modified plastics.
In order to meet the growing development needs, the well-known domestic modified plastic enterprise Jusailong has introduced automatic sewing machines, robotic arms, etc. to improve the level of intelligent manufacturing, optimize the entire production and manufacturing process, and improve the rate of high-quality products.
