PU synthetic leather auxiliaries industry situation and development
Author： Date：2013-06-18 From： Hits：1
Leather is indispensable to human material, from the primitive society of eat birds and animals raw, leather it has close relationship with human history. With the development of the society, the human to the environment protection, animal protection is becoming more and more attention, the use of natural leather has been curbed. So, replace the natural leather, leatheroid, synthetic leather, obtained the huge development especially PU synthetic leather, various good qualities, it has become the best products instead of natural leather.
As technology advances, PU synthetic leather has more excellent performance than natural leather, a broader application range in sophisticated national defense military, aerospace and other high-tech fields have been applied. At present, the global market size of $500 to $70 billion of PU synthetic leather, mainly distributed in China, South Korea, Japan, South America, South Asia, Europe and other regions. China has a large and small nearly two thousands PU synthetic leather production enterprise (include around 500), for the world. Predictably, PU synthetic leather development, needs more update for human progress, the future of PU synthetic leather, will certainly colorful, brilliant.
PU synthetic leather, then, is how to progress? In addition to the production process, equipment, base material constantly, and perhaps more importantly auxiliaries development, innovation.
Described in this article the additives, not only including additives, functional materials we used to say, also including the additives, functional materials and ordinary PU resin or synthetic and table made of agent, special resin, and so on. Its use range YongZhuJi and PU synthetic leather including PU resin YongZhuJi.
In general, PU synthetic leather innovation according to the following program:
Innovation agents to join ﹦ PU resin and innovation in the process of PU synthetic additives innovation base fabric etc. The base material packing and toner technology and manufacturing all kinds of innovation = PU synthetic leather.
Therefore, additives research and development in play a crucial role in the development of PU synthetic leather. Below, is this a problem for analysis.
The classification of additives
Additives generally in the following five categories:
One, class for troubleshooting. Such as: defoaming agent, wetting agent, prevent pinhole agent, flow ping agent, wet with fixing agent and DMF agents, uniform bubble fertilizer, anti-sticking agent, interface fusion agent, viscosifier, dispersant, etc. This kind of material in PU synthetic leather PU resin production play a crucial role in the process, without them, and PU synthetic leather PU resin can't normal production;
Second, improve processing performance class. Such as stripping agent, high tear resistance additives, Yin (Yang) ion penetrating agent, bubble hole adjusting agent, resin modifier, filler added promoter, aid liniments, increases the modulus, modulus reduction agent, special embossed fertilizer, gilding YongZhuJi, knead grain fertilizer, etc. These materials are an important part of the PU and PU synthetic leather, make its physical properties and feel happen major changes, so as to satisfy people's requirements;
Third, increase the function of the PU material itself does not have class. Such as splashing water, antibacterial fungicide, flame retardant, wear-resisting, blowing agent, waterproofing agent, high temperature resistant anti-aging agent additives, leather auxiliaries, yellowing resistance, cold-resistant, hydrolysis resistant agent, breathable absorbent materials, radiation protection materials, insulation materials, far infrared material, aromatic material, luminescence materials, and so on. To add this kind of material, make the synthetic leather with PU itself has no function, thus the function and functional PU synthetic leather PU resin, to meet human needs in the field of more;
4, adjust the PU synthetic leather surface effect and handle classes. Such as slip agent, wax slide handle agent, special show color handle agent, powder material, fog HeiCaiLiao, coke, hang down feeling, soft materials, dermis with special contract material, fog of wax material, color material, wet wax feeling, velvet material, polishing materials, extinction and color-changed materials and so on.
This kind of material is mainly to provide special effect, PU synthetic leather surface to meet the personalized requirements of people, and with the fashion, the pursuit of beauty.
5, table place agent, special resin, etc. Traditionally, this kind of material was not in additive categories, they are made of additives with normal PU resin compound with or synthesis process, create the new material. Commonly used in PU synthetic leather surface or coating layer to make synthetic leather with special surface effect and feel. According to the current China plastics processing association latest statistics standard, in order to standardized, and we put the table in the range, special resin into the additives. Such as all kinds of mist, bright face, feeling, wax feeling, feeling, table place agent such as acerbity feeling, various color, cracks, crazy horse breathable, absorbent, polishing, such as colour, singe special resin. With PU synthetic leather like the medium-to-high grade, personalized, functional development, table agent, and the use of special resin is more and more big, more and more varieties. It accounted for in PU synthetic leather manufacture cost is becoming more and more big.
Fertilizer development and the technical difficulties
First of all, with all kinds of PU synthetic leather material has a very wide range of fields involved, unable to completely define its scope. PU synthetic leather materials mainly derived from petroleum and chemical and processing field of natural organic matter, inorganic matter. By oil as the raw material to PU synthetic leather material, need to pass oil extraction, oil refining, organic synthesis, polymer synthesis and a series of industrial sector, in organic synthesis industry not only provides the main raw material for synthetic leather with PU material industry, and provide auxiliary materials such as solvents, additives and auxiliaries. Natural organic matter and inorganic matter is complex, including bioengineering, smelting technology and other fields. This requests us to multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary knowledge and skills, need many talent and develop talent in all aspects. Whether material, machinery, textile and other industries to dabble in. This is the difficulty of PU synthetic leather development, as well as the high threshold of talent training and technology.
Secondly, the process of manufacture of PU synthetic leather including wet method, dry method and after the period of process, according to the different requirements of different PU synthetic leather need to wet Base is different, so make different to choose according to different requirements of different Base fertilizer to adjust. Dry and after the period of process is divided into cover, printing, roller, embossing, spraying, rubbing lines, light and so on, each process need to add fertilizer. Also, different synthetic leather is different also, to the requirement of process of the PU material for different process requirements are also different. Due to the manufacturing process as many as dozens of PU synthetic leather, and the mutual combination and various additives must cooperate with, so that it changes in the manufacturing process of infinite approximation. Greatly increasing the difficulty of additives development.
Third, many PU synthetic leather request some PU material itself does not have the special features, such as flame retardant, wear-resisting scratch-resistant, antistatic, radiation protection, antibacterial mouldproof, etc., at the same time must ensure that the PU synthetic leather in the manufacturing process and final products to ensure compliance with environmental and health requirements. These must be from ordinary PU resin and additives. Made of PU synthetic leather YongZhuJi development more difficult.
Fourth, in the process of research and development, the synthesis and the use of additives, material to cooperate with each other is a very complicated process, during which also will meet many unexpected problems, for example, a kind of additives added, was supposed to improve the performance of some of its added also did raise it in the performance, but after a period of time instead of the drop in the performance. That means all kinds of material compatibility is very complicated. It makes synthetic leather YongZhuJi development faced some problems, because you don't know how long will it one day at a time changing. Because many times, we are unable to completely clear analysis of its internal mechanism. So, you need us to do a lot of, for a long time experiment, even need to mass production to prove its stability and effectiveness.
Fifth, material qualitative and also can produce problems in use, because the research and development of additives to your customers, will be mixed with other materials we can't control, under the condition of different equipment and technology, research and development is unpredictable. So technical personnel shall give full consideration to the use of material during development environment, as much as possible in order to improve its applicability.
Sixth, no one can know exactly how many materials you can use, there are a lot of material is in the field of don't know, it's need to spend a lot of time and energy to find, experiments, choose, confirm, also combined with the popular trend of the market, set up the architecture of r&d personnel and the power of the research and development and so on are put forward very high requirements.
More than 6 o 'clock, in the development of additives should be fully considered. To give full play to the initiative of the technical personnel, and to combine results output, confidential technology, research and development efficiency, etc. Comprehensive adjustment. It is not easy to do that very well. Ten years ago, PU synthetic leather YongZhuJi mainly by foreign dow basf, bayer, dow corning, big companies such as monopoly, few domestic enterprises can compete with them.
In fact, in such a market segment, the domestic enterprise is not without opportunity, as long as to focus on the research and development in this field, full of confidence and sense of mission, go all out, may not catch up with or surpass. We know that PU synthetic leather auxiliaries development, not only applied to synthetic leather used in the daily life, also used in national defense, military industry, etc involves areas of core national interests, is of great significance. Additives to China PU synthetic leather industry no longer lag behind, no longer subject to foreign countries, in order to China PU synthetic leather from the producer to technical powers, must have the courage and spirit, must make the long-term planning and effort.
Encouragingly, PU synthetic leather industry in China, now has such enterprise for PU synthetic leather YongZhuJi r&d efforts. Among them, the jiangsu ze especially high polymer material co., LTD., the companies based on long-term, has spent a lot of resources into fertilizer research and development. Over the past few years with fruitful results, break the monopoly of the foreign enterprises and beyond. Who has the most patents in the industry with high-tech products, walk in front of the industry technology. At present, represent the future development direction of functional PU synthetic leather and related auxiliaries needed for the water-based PU synthetic leather has been basically formed a system, the kinds of functional, environmental protection for the Chinese PU synthetic leather industry in the future development laid a solid foundation. Certainly, as long as there are more enterprise effort, such as bao ze PU synthetic leather industry in China will become the world leader.
The market situation
At present, the fertilizer has been widely used in PU synthetic leather industry. Mainly in PU resin synthesis, PU synthetic leather wet, dry, after a period of use. Below, with respect to the additives market conditions make a simple analysis.
One, the market capacity. PU synthetic leather industry, the global fertilizer market capacity is large and growing rapidly. If the above five kinds of additives all statistics, in 2006, about 5 billion yuan, about 7 billion RMB in 2007, about 9 billion yuan in 2008. By 2009, the market is expected to 2009-120 yuan. Among them, the high-grade additives accounted for about 40%. The next five years, will continue to multiply, the annual growth rate of no less than 30%. A conservative estimate that by 2015, the market may be expanded to 250-30 billion yuan. High-grade fertilizer market share will be 20% in 2006, 25% in 2007, 33% in 2008, 40% in 2009, rising to 65%. This is because, from the market trend analysis in recent years, the future of PU synthetic leather will develop to the costliness, functionalization, personalization, and extremely fast. And these changes, mainly by additive development can be achieved. So, in this market, as long as the leading technology, dare to investment, will certainly gain. Can also play a revolutionary role in the future of PU synthetic leather. In the domestic market, while China synthetic leather production accounted for 70% of the world, accounts for 60% of the world, however, fertilizer use only accounted for about 40% of the world, and mainly focus on cheap products.
Second, the market structure. All the production of PU synthetic leather with five types of enterprise is not much, foreign big enterprise general management category or categories, only the main reason is that the enterprise scale, industry span is big, can't focus on the synthetic leather industry.
They often put the synthetic leather industry of some unit of materials classified as they, and the synthetic leather auxiliaries and leather, paint, fabric with a combined, steel, petrochemical industries such as fertilizer production or business operations. In this way, on the research and development, management has great advantages, product development ability is strong, good quality and full functions. But also has faults, just can't focus on the synthetic leather industry, keep up with changes in synthetic leather industry, fast, personalized requirements more, etc. This is why China's fertilizer production enterprises.
According to incomplete statistics, PU synthetic leather industry in the global fertilizer market, in 2006, the foreign enterprise market share at around 65%, in 2007 to around 55%, in 2008 to around 50%, is expected in 2009 will still be falling. In synthetic leather market did not decline due to the impact of financial crisis, foreign enterprises market share drop, means that the market share of domestic company. Also, due to domestic enterprises increased spending on research and development share in high-end products also increased significantly. But so far, in addition to a few companies such as jiangsu bao ze has some products export, due to the brand, quality, variety, market promotion and other reasons, China's synthetic leather YongZhuJi, in the international market is difficult to compete with dow corning, basf and other large enterprises. The growth of the market share, main performance in the domestic market.
Three, the structure of the product. Five additives markets also have different performance. Specific as follows:
Class for troubleshooting. Accounted for around 10% of the fertilizer total market capacity. It increases with the enlargement of the synthetic leather market and expand. If PU synthetic leather is still in a 10-15% annual growth rate of development, so, class for troubleshooting assistant at a rate of 10-15% growth.
Improve the processing performance class. Accounted for around 15% of the fertilizer total market capacity. Future growth and solve the fault type of approximation.
Increase the capacity of PU and synthetic leather itself doesn't have classes. Or about 17% of the total agents. As the market for synthetic leather quality and improvement of varieties and so on, personalized, functional demand more and more big, this kind of fertilizer market is also increasing rapidly. Next in the fertilizer market share will be more than 20%. The total market will expand with the expansion of fertilizer market.
Section of PU synthetic leather surface effect and handle classes. Additives for about 8% of the total market. Because synthetic leather production enterprises is more and more like to directly purchase table agent, special resin, such as deep processing of products, reduce their workload, this kind of fertilizer market may not have a big improve in the future.
Agent, special resin class table. Is the main part of fertilizer market at present about 50% of the total market. Due to the development of personalized, fashionable, functional, variety diversification, this kind of fertilizer market in the future will be very big, in synthetic leather the proportion in the whole cost will be greater and greater. At present, some high-grade synthetic leather, agent, special resin table have been accounted for the entire cost of production of more than 30%. Most of the synthetic leather, this kind of fertilizer proportion of production costs at 5% - 20%.
Four, the present situation of the domestic synthetic leather production auxiliary enterprises. Domestic synthetic leather fertilizer production enterprise, the average set up time is short, small, technical development ability is weak, the production management is not standard, low level of marketing. Mainly distributed in the synthetic leather industry, such as jiangsu, guangdong, zhejiang, fujian province.
At home, related auxiliaries more than one hundred and fifty enterprises, of which only dozens of manufacturing enterprises, and fewer than ten good production capacity. Real architecture and technology research and development ability of enterprises only treasure ze in jiangsu, guangdong FengSheng, zhejiang blue, xiamen into a handful of such as yet. The rest are more than one hundreds of trade enterprises. These companies have a plenty of foreign products dealer, have a plenty of domestic excellent enterprise of dealers, some mainly by trade relations with several synthetic leather manufacturers do to survive.
Additives in these enterprises, focusing on the industry's only jiangsu bao ze, xiamen into enterprises, other enterprises in the production of toner, ordinary PU resin, etc.
Really spend a lot of resources to cultivate talents, and improve the research and development institutions and obtain a number of r&d achievements and patents, technology, products reach the level of foreign enterprises are enterprises such as jiangsu bao ze.
Can be seen from the above analysis, the excellent domestic fertilizer enterprises is weak, with foreign enterprise competition, in the brand and marketing ability, etc, and distance. So, the future we are going to increase attention and support for fertilizer production enterprises, encourage them in research and development, production, management, marketing, foreign trade accelerates.
Throughout China synthetic leather industry, fertilizer industry market is not standard, the market concentration degree is extremely low, even leading enterprises like the jiangsu jersey is only a small share. Additives according to the statistics, the top ten enterprise market share and no more than 10%, that is to say, the top ten enterprises of the total sales in 500 million yuan only.
Mainly because of two points, one is like treasure ze companies while leading technologies, products, already have the ability to compete with foreign companies, but is limited by lack of funds and marketing talents, haven't really put the advantage technology market, its marketing also need to invest time and resources; Second, most companies use unfair competition, for lacking of research and development ability fake is not rare. This is because the Chinese PU synthetic leather industry for nearly 10 years of rapid development, lucrative, lead to market confusion. With these materials production of PU synthetic leather can't ensure the quality, cost is high, the low grade rate, serious pollution, waste of serious. So it can make the PU synthetic leather industry in China produced a vicious cycle, eventually lead to an orderly and sound development of the industry can't. This is a very serious problem.
Comfort is in recent years, due to the increasingly fierce market competition, also less profitable of synthetic leather industry, combined with environmental requirements higher and higher, many see PU synthetic leather enterprise the question and choose good material suppliers. Superior bad discard, so this kind of condition has improved.
Domestic fertilizer industry industry also has its advantages, such as price advantages, close to the market, responsive, and so on. After all, China is the world's largest production base of PU synthetic leather, huge potential for development. As long as the market is more and more normative, China is leading the world leader in the field of PU synthetic leather is only a matter of time before, so need more like jiangsu bao ze proprietary technology, don't lose foreign big enterprise company, let them in the future market, can and foreign big enterprise competition, not only in the domestic market dominance, and able to compete in the global market.
At this stage of requirements
At present, China's fertilizer industry development the primary requirement is quality, must win. Quality assurance to stand in the international arena, to have a broader market to develop.
Second, is to the environment. Now all emphasizes the harmonious development of man and nature, for PU synthetic leather industry, non-toxic, non-polluting, energy saving, is the development trend of the future.
The third is to improve fertilizer industry market competitiveness, we will give a full play to the advantage of our fair competition with foreign company. Improve our marketing ability, put on the quality, variety and scale, in this market segment beyond foreign big companies, to become the world champion of the market.
Fourth, in order to meet the growing demand for functional PU synthetic leather, to increase the in-depth development of the functional additives or extensionality development. It is in this area, foreign companies will not be able to compete with us. Using special materials development and special effect on the surface of PU synthetic leather, is our advantage. As jiangsu bao ze, hangzhou companies such as dark blue, guangzhou FengSheng development effect of crazy horse, crazy Ma Changmao effects, cracking effect, high solid bright effect, strong color changing effect, rub coke effect, slippery feeling effect, velvet wax feeling effect, oil wax feeling effect, acerbity wax feeling effects, fog, surface effect, the outermost layer of skin effect and bright effect, velvet feeling effect, knead grain effect, smooth effect, and the sheep effect, pressure effect, such as PU synthetic leather is a good example, after they had developed to the downstream of the PU synthetic leather factory for secondary development, production, market reaction speed, the effect is very good.
Lead in materials on the basis of in-depth development, make the most fashionable, colorful PU synthetic leather first developed by the Chinese, rather than by countries such as Italy leads the way.
The development direction
Agent's future development, mainly is decided by market demand and technological progress. Is mainly in the following way:
First of all, is still solve the fault and solve in the process of production of PU material itself defects of additives. Such as organic solvent residue less fertilizer; To solve manufacturing stability caused by the synthetic leather manufacture process is complicated by demand of AIDS; Stability is not enough to solve the PU material additives, and so on.
Second, the development of functional PU synthetic leather influence the development of AIDS. Such as simulation antistatic synthetic leather, synthetic leather, synthetic leather, flame retardant, antibacterial mouldproof synthetic leather ultraviolet resistance, waterproof antifouling synthetic leather, synthetic leather, infrared health care synthetic leather, aromatic anion wet synthetic leather, synthetic leather, synthetic leather, electromagnetic shielding, noise damping synthetic leather, synthetic leather, light discoloration stealth synthetic leather, synthetic leather, breathable absorbent synthetic leather and so on are suitable for different areas need different function of synthetic leather. This kind of product market prospect, and is of great significance.
Third, the development of special effect on the surface of fertilizer is infinite. Such as shrinkage, special touch, along with the expansion of knowledge also find new effect.
Fourth, the emergence of water-based PU synthetic leather for additives bring revolutionary change. In the United States, Italy, Japan, South Korea and other countries, has been using environmentally friendly water-based PU slurry. For PU synthetic leather industry, non-toxic, non-polluting, energy-saving water based PU synthetic leather is an ideal alternative to solvent-based PU synthetic leather. Therefore, the development of waterborne PU synthetic leather YongZhuJi became the main attack direction in the future. It will apply to two fields: the water-based PU resins and waterborne PU synthetic leather. Jiangsu bao ze have begun the related material research, and many achievements have been achieved.
Fifth, the next ten years twenty years, there are may be developed beyond the water-based PU series of related materials, while water-based PU material is very ideal environmental protection material, but its raw material on oil, while oil is always end of the day. Science is endless, while water-based PU time has not yet come, but already can foresee it. Replace the water-based PU system related materials will appear. Such as the raw material from plant fibers or plant protein and is derived from animal fat, etc., all of this needs to be in the future exploration of the research. Here should not be discussed.
Described above, simply analyses the PU synthetic leather YongZhuJi industry general situation, hope to have a beginning of effect to the relevant manufacturers. Only if we work together, fertilizer industry is developing for the future, the future of PU synthetic leather will be more beautiful!
