In recent years, China’s modified plastics industry has achieved rapid development with the stable development of the national economy. However, due to technical constraints, domestic modified plastic products are still dominated by low-end products, and high-end products mainly rely on imports.

What is modified plastic?
Plastic modification is the modifying the performance of the plastic with physical or chemical method to obtain a modified plastic resin, and then subjected to extrusion, injection molding, calendering and other processes to obtain modified plastic products. The excellent modified plastic products are widely used in home appliances, automobiles, construction and other industries. And make it lower cost, improved performance or make it total new functional.

Why need to modify the plastic?

• Overcoming the limit of the worse productivity, weak strength & etc.
• Make it new function: flame resistance, high impact resistance & etc.
• Lower the cost: such as adding talcum powder into plastic.

The application of modified plastic following:
The series of the modified plastic includes flame resistance, toughness/strength enhanced, polyester alloy and functional pigment.

Major Series Minor sortApplication
Flame resistant Flame resistant polystyrene, Flame resistant polypropylene, Flame resistant ABS & etc. Manufacturing enclosures, internal parts and Peripheral equipment.
Toughness/Strength enhanced Special weather resistant polypropylene Manufacturing Electric appliances and internal component of automobile.
Glass fiber enhanced thermoplastic polyester Computer component company, mechanical component company, Auto-tool company, Lamp company & etc. Manufacturing computer component, mechanical component, auto-tool or light
Plastic alloy Polycarbonate alloy Manufacturing car dashboard surface.
PVC alloy parts Electric appliances manufacturer Manufacturing shell of electric appliances, switches, architecture amp; etc
Polyester alloy Automobile, electric appliances, auto-tool company Manufacturing automobile component, electric appliance, auto-tool & etc.
Functional pigment High impact polypropylene toughness enhanced pigment Manufacturing shell of electric appliances.

The future development direction of modified plastics:

• Universal plastics modification;
• Modified plastics’ high-performance, multi-functional, compounding;
• Low cost, industrialization;
• Green, environmentally friendly, low carbon, recycled plastic.

Modified plastics are superior to general-purpose plastics in terms of flame retardancy, strength, impact resistance, toughness, etc., with the advancement of science and technology and the upgrading of its industry, its applications are still expanding.
