Dublin, Oct. 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2jbd85/global_and)
has announced the addition of the "Global
and Chinese High Barrier Material (PVDC, EVOH, PEN) Industry
Report, 2013-2016" report to their offering.
Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC), Ethylene / Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer
(EVOH), Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) are three well-known high
barrier materials in the market. Featured with strong gas barrier
property, organic solvent resistance, environmental protection and
safety, these materials are widely used in food, drug packaging and
other fields.
By 2012, the global PVDC resin capacity had been 214Kt, mainly
contributed by Dow Chemical, Kureha, Asahi Kasei and other
companies. Meanwhile, major Chinese PVDC resin producers included
Juhua (capacity: 28 Kt/a) and Nantong Hui Yu Feng New Materials (a
joint venture of Shuanghui, Kureha and Toyota Tsusho) (capacity: 10
Kt/a). In 2013, Juhua will expand the PVDC resin capacity to
34Kt/a, while in 2014,Nantong Hui Yu Feng New Materials will raise
the PVDC resin capacity to 20Kt/a.
In China, PVDC
resin is usually applied to the production of PVDC casing film. As
of 2012, China's PVDC casing film capacity hit 80Kt/a, of which
35Kt/a (44%) came from Shuanghui and 12Kt/a (15%) was generated by
Shandong Jinluo. Furthermore, China is developing PVDC plastic wrap
and PVDC shrink film. In August 2012, Juhua developed PVDC plastic
wrap resin independently.
In 2012, the global EVOH resin capacity reached 132Kt, mostly
released by Kuraray, Nippon Gohsei and Taiwan ChangChun
PetroChemical. China relies on the import of EVOH resin. In the
future, in the wake of China's EVOH resin industrialization, the
upgrading of food packaging and the fast-growing automotive
industry, the demand for EVOH resin will ascend stably.
By 2012, Teijin, Toyobo and Mitsubishi Chemical had the ability of
producing PEN. China is conducting the R & D of PEN products,
and no one company can enforce mass production.
