China Drying Network News With the introduction of bans in various countries, phthalate ester plasticizers that once dominated the plasticizer market were “strike hard,†and green non-phthalate plasticizers were expanded. The tide is coming. Recently, international green plasticizer manufacturers have announced expansion plans to seize the market. On August 9th, BASF plans to double the capacity of its eco-friendly plasticizer diisodecylcyclohexane 1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH) by 2013 to meet the demand for plasticizer replacement products. growth of. BASF operates a DINCH production line with a design capacity of 100,000 tons/year in Ludwigshafen, Germany. The company will build a second production line of the same size. The LANXESS Group announced earlier this year that it has formed a strategic partnership with BioAmber of the United States to jointly develop bioplasticizers that can replace phthalates. Both parties will produce succinic acid and produce plasticizers that do not contain phthalates. LANXESS will build a 17,000 t/y bio-based succinic acid plant at its production facility in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. U.S. Eastman Chemical recently opened a modified non-phthalate production facility in Texas. The measures of intensive production expansion by various companies are inseparable from the laws and regulations that have been issued by various countries. In Europe and North America, there are more and more regulations prohibiting the use of phthalate plasticizers. Health Canada officially announces new regulations restricting the use of six phthalates in toys and childcare articles, requiring bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in all children's toys and childcare articles. The content of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) shall not exceed 0.1%; and diisodecyl phthalate (DINP) may be used in importable children's toys and care products. ) Diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), dioctyl phthalate (DNOP) content does not exceed 0.1%. This regulation was implemented in June 2011. Similar regulations in the United States, the "Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act," were also implemented in February 2009. The EU, Japan, and South Korea have also introduced similar laws and regulations. Although China has not yet introduced regulations that restrict the use of DEHP or other phthalate plasticizers, its exports to North America and Western Europe do not include DEHP. In Europe, plastic processors and end users are facing pressures, including pressure from retailers, brands, NGOs, politicians and ordinary people, and are forcing manufacturers to use non-phthalate plasticizers. . The market is also increasingly turning to non-phthalate plasticizers. According to statistics, in the past five years, global consumption of plasticizers has increased from 6.1 million tons/year to 6.7 million tons/year, and consumption of non-phthalate plasticizers has remained relatively stable in global plasticizer consumption. , only slightly increased from 11% to 12%, but the proportion of European non-phthalate plasticizers in plasticizer consumption has increased from 18% to 22%. In 2011, the total European plasticizer demand It reached 1.2 million tons. Non-phthalate plasticizers in North America already account for about 30% of plasticizer consumption. It is expected that the global non-phthalate market will see strong growth in the next 10 years. An excavator rotating grapple is an attachment that can be added to an excavator to help with material handling. It is essentially a large claw that can be opened and closed to grab and hold onto objects such as logs, rocks, and debris. The rotating feature allows the grapple to rotate 360 degrees, making it easier to position and place objects in the desired location. This attachment is commonly used in construction, demolition, and forestry industries.
