[Reuters] Hisashi plastic appliance industry is one of the most important of
modified plastics industry downstream industries, the development of the home appliance industry has become an important factor in the development of modified plastics industry. Modified plastics can be used to make housings, blades, exteriors and other accessories for home appliances. With the rapid development of China's economy, people's living standards are also rapidly increasing, and the domestic market of home appliances is rapidly expanding. In addition, with the continuous deepening of the reform and opening up policy, China's home appliance industry exports have increased. Domestic and international market demand promotes the vigorous development of China's home appliance market.
China's home appliance industry exports have increased, the home appliance industry will have greater demand for plastics
Among home appliances, four major household appliances, including TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners, have a greater demand for plastic raw materials, especially washing machines and refrigerators, each of which accounts for 30%-40% or more. In the future, the home appliance industry will accelerate its pace of “plasticizing to replace steel”, and its demand for plastics will be even greater.
New urbanization not only has a large number of rural residents' demand for housing, but also enables farmers to fully upgrade their consumption levels. Consumption upgrades drive the consumption of emerging home appliances, and the upgrading of home appliance consumption is characterized by refined functions, enrichment, energy saving, low carbon, intelligence, and networking.
With the continuous development of technology, plastics are widely used in electrical products, and they also have excellent performances such as health, environmental protection and low cost. Such as plastic color, it is very suitable for the manufacture of electrical enclosures, its hardness, bending strength, impact strength and tensile strength have also been greatly improved, but also has good heat resistance, most home appliances work The plastic used in home appliances has been able to withstand higher temperatures for a long time.
According to relevant information, the annual demand for plastics in the household appliance industry amounts to one million tons. Many steel-based home appliance parts have been replaced with plastic products, especially ABS, PS and engineering plastics, modified plastics and plastic alloy materials in general plastics. Applications are becoming more widespread.
