According to statistics, the total capacity of unsaturated resin in early 2018 was 4.95 million tons, which was limited by the pressure of environmental protection and safety supervision. In the past two years, the pressure of small unsaturated resin factories was relatively high, because the threshold of the resin process was low, and the quality of the products was also uneven. Qi, Small-scale factories gained prosperity in the past few years. The survival environment of small and medium-sized enterprises is still good, and it also promotes the breakthrough of the unsaturated resin industry. With the emphasis on environmental protection, the state has launched a series of comprehensive environmental protection measures. The small-scale resin factories based on low-end products have come to an end and are facing ever-increasing challenges. Obsolete processes and low-cost production have obviously not adapted to the current new era.
Under the comprehensive management of environmental protection, some small-scale enterprises were eliminated or transformed. The unsaturated resin industry is both a challenge and an opportunity. As the survival conditions of some factories have changed from good to weak, the number of resin companies has also shrunk dramatically, and effective production capacity has decreased. The factory passively or actively withdraws from the market. The resin company cannot operate under full load all the year round. UPR's production capacity has reached the stage ceiling. According to the statistics, the operating rate of the resin factory in the first few years is generally 5-6 percent, and the situation is also good. It is difficult to exceed 60%. Obviously, the pressure on the industry is huge. Since last year, there have been few new construction and expansion projects, or they have been delayed and put into operation. Long-term non-starting and transformation factories are up to 2-3%. This is also The fundamental factor that the output of unsaturated resin is difficult to increase is that the production capacity has been shrinking and the operating rate has continued to be low. Together, the UPR production growth rate has declined.
According to Zhongyu information statistics, the total capacity output in 2017 was 4.95 million tons and 2.05 million tons, respectively, while the effective capacity in 2018 has a decreasing trend, due to the limited start-up of some manufacturers. The new production capacity is expected to have 2018-2019 More than 800,000 tons of new production capacity is expected to be put into operation. It is predicted that three sets of equipment will be put into operation in the second half of this year, with a total capacity of 440 thousand tons. They are a set of 20,000 tons of equipment in Shijiazhuang, a set of 100,000 tons of equipment in East China and two sets of 320,000 tons in Shandong. The equipment, of which Shandong accounted for 39.5% of the total new production capacity, the specific production also need to observe the market conditions. New projects are also based on high-end resin products, modified resins, high-performance membrane materials. Products used in new energy Automotive, wind power, rail transportation, aerospace, electronic coatings and flue gas desulfurization and other fields.
Looking into the future, UPR products will be extended from low-end to mid-to-high-end industries. Research and development of new green and environmentally-friendly products will be enhanced. Intelligent synthetic resin production systems will be used on resin equipment, and product quality will be closer to new high-tech composite materials. 5. The development of new materials is an important part of emerging industries. The development of new materials will greatly benefit the solution of industrial overcapacity and the improvement of manufacturing production efficiency.
