Organic heat stabilizers have broad application prospects in the plastics field, but industry development still faces challenges.
Organic heat stabilizer is a plastic additive that can improve the thermal stability of plastics and prevent plastics from deteriorating at high temperatures. Organic heat stabilizers usually have the characteristics of good thermal stability, corrosion resistance, weather resistance, and high light transmittance, and are widely used in plastics such as ABS and PVC. According to different base materials, organic heat stabilizers can be divided into thiols, organotin, amides and phenols.
Organotin heat stabilizer is a representative product of organic heat stabilizer. It is an efficient and environmentally friendly organic heat stabilizer. It has the characteristics of resistance to sulfide pollution, high transparency, less prone to whitening, and good heat resistance. It is widely used in the processing of PVC plastics. . However, currently, due to factors such as high technical barriers and high production costs, my country’s production capacity of organotin heat stabilizers is low, and overseas developed countries dominate the global market. In the future, with the improvement of independent research and development capabilities of local enterprises, the localization process of my country’s organotin heat stabilizer market is expected to accelerate.
According to the “2023-2028 China Organic Thermal Stabilizer Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center , the plastics field has the largest demand for organic heat stabilizers, with ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastics as its end products. In the field of PVC plastics, organic heat stabilizers can not only improve the thermal stability of PVC plastics, but also improve its aging resistance and weather resistance. PVC plastic is the general plastic with the largest demand and output in the world and has broad application prospects in many fields. Benefiting from the accelerated development of downstream industries, the market space for organic heat stabilizers continues to expand.
my country’s organic heat stabilizer industry started late, and there is still a gap in product quality and output compared with overseas developed countries. At present, the main players in my country’s organic heat stabilizer market include Zhejiang Hapton New Materials Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Jiaao Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., Hubei Benxing New Materials Co., Ltd., Yunnan Tin Industry Co., Ltd., etc. In the future, driven by market demand, the number of organic heat stabilizer companies in my country is expected to grow.
At present, the development of my country’s organic heat stabilizer industry still faces many challenges. On the one hand, the market price of organic heat stabilizers is high, and its use in plastics will increase its production costs. Its market share is currently low; on the other hand, the development of my country’s organic heat stabilizer industry is still in its infancy, and its technology maturity is low. , product quality is uneven, which can easily affect the performance of plastics.
Industry analysts said that organic heat stabilizers have excellent performance and have broad application prospects in the plastics field. As a representative product of organic heat stabilizers, the market demand for organotin heat stabilizers continues to grow, driving the prosperity of the organic heat stabilizer industry to continue to increase. However, at present, my country’s organic heat stabilizer industry still faces many challenges, and local companies urgently need to increase investment in research and development to further improve their output and quality.
