New Way Out For Excess Polyester Production Capacity

Under the background of slowing economic growth and weakening export situation, how to digest the capacity of China's polyester industry has become the focus of discussion in the industry. At the meetings organized by the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, representatives of the enterprises in the industry expressed their demands for breaking through the application field. As Xu Kunyuan, honorary president of China Textile Industry Federation, said, if we turn our attention to market demand, we can really expand our sales and find a way out for more polyester.

It is based on the judgement of the current situation and the needs of chemical fiber enterprises that the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association has invited experts from Sinopec, Shanghai Petrochemical Company, Professor Wang Mingyi, Professor of Shengze Polytechnic Department of Donghua University, and Professor Jin Xiangyu of nonwovens and Engineering Department of Donghua University at the annual forum of polyester polyester industry chain, which has just been held.

On the basis of analyzing the development situation and trend of their respective industries, they thoroughly combine the reality of polyester enterprises to seek development opportunities for the industry. Wang Mingyi said, "speed up". Non fiber " polyester The application is an effective way to self-discipline and expand the market.

He also believes that polyester enterprises should pay great attention to the development of automotive textiles and follow the development trend of the automotive industry. Jin Xiangyu analyzed the development trend of vehicle materials in detail, and pointed out several kinds of polyester materials needed by downstream enterprises for chemical fiber enterprises.

In addition to industrial use textile As the needs of materials are changing, the demand for raw materials such as fabrics, knitted fabrics and garments is also subtly fermented. These industries with fashion cycles are often impenetrable. Following the trend of production may often make enterprises slow down. Therefore, participation in research and development of popular fabrics and clothing should also become the work content of polyester enterprises.

In the first half of 2014, domestic polyester production capacity still maintained a relatively fast growth. The new polyester production capacity was about 2 million 850 thousand tons, and the total capacity of domestic polyester reached 45 million 70 thousand tons by the end of June. Polyester production continued to rise in the first half of the year, but the industry load dropped further. The total supply of polyester fiber reached 18 million 528 thousand and 600 tons, an increase of 12.9% over the same period last year. At the same time, the domestic polyester rigid demand and the export volume of polyester products continue to rise, the total consumption of polyester fiber in China reached 16 million 93 thousand and 100 tons, an increase of 9.1% over the same period last year.

Wang Mingyi used this data in addition to indicating that polyester production capacity is too large, but also indicates that the application of polyester is expanding. He said that in the world polyester production capacity in 2013, the ratio of fiber to non fiber was 78: 22. Polyester has great potential in the field of non fiber industry due to its good performance. He believes that speeding up the application of "non fiber" polyester is an effective way for the industry to expand the market.

In addition, the proportion of polyester PET applied in nonwovens is more than 30%, and Wang Mingyi believes that in the future, this data will also increase. He reminded enterprises to pay attention to the development of automotive textiles. Polyester fiber should keep pace with the development of automobile industry.

What are the opportunities for the automotive products market to bring to polyester enterprises? Jin Xiangyu said that polyester materials are popular materials in the automotive industry at present, and are involved in the field of fiber and non fiber applications.

The advantages and disadvantages of polyester non fiber materials are being reconsidered. Polyester has engineering design, deep mold pressing, and suitable for complex surface shape. In addition, it has the advantages of high strength, wear resistance and heat resistance, and low price. It can provide higher shock absorption and is suitable for composite structure. At the same time, the polyester unit is light in weight and suitable for the development trend of lightweight cars. The requirements of automotive polyester materials are summarized as follows: high strength, light weight, sound insulation, thermal insulation, shockproof and cheap.
