The increase in ABS resin production capacity is good for the development of AS resin industry

AS resin, also known as acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer, is a polymer compound copolymerized by acrylonitrile and styrene. It has high temperature resistance, chemical reaction resistance, stability, and thermal deformation resistance. Characteristics, usually also have excellent hardness and transparency. At present, AS resin is mainly used in instrument cases, battery boxes, daily necessities, mechanical parts and other products, with a wide range of applications.

According to the “2022-2027 AS Resin Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, AS The biggest application of resin is as a blending material for the production of ABS resin. Currently, most ABS production companies can produce AS resin. ABS resin has excellent properties and currently has high application demand in the fields of household appliances, consumer electronics and automobiles. Benefiting from the development of terminal industries, ABS production capacity and output have increased. my country is the world’s major ABS resin producer, and it is expected that my country’s ABS resin production capacity will reach 9 million tons by 2025. The development of the AS resin industry is mainly driven by the ABS resin industry. With the increase in domestic ABS resin production capacity, my country’s AS resin industry has also developed rapidly.

There are many AS resin manufacturers in the world. Representative companies include Germany’s Bayer, South Korea’s LG, Monsanto Company, Chimei Chemical, etc. The above companies have large AS resin scales and produce many grades, which can meet the application needs of different scenarios. . Currently, the more well-known AS resin natural grades in the world include PN-117, PN-127, etc., and the dyed grades include SAN-31 and SAN-H.

Domestic AS resin is mainly used to produce ABS resin, and only a small amount of AS resin is circulated in the market and used in other fields. At present, domestic AS resin manufacturers for commercial sales include Trinseo Petrochemical, Daqing Petrochemical, Lanzhou Petrochemical, Dagu Chemical, Jinyongxing Chemical, etc. Among them, Lanzhou Petrochemical has 15,000 tons of AS resin production equipment, and has gradually implemented independent research and development. In recent years, it has developed product grades such as HH-C100 and H-C200, which are mainly used in fields such as batteries and lighters.

From the perspective of industry development, AS resin has relatively little application demand in other fields. ABS resin is still the main application field. Driven by the development of automobiles and home appliances, my country’s ABS resin production capacity continues to expand. In the past three years, AS resin Market demand is still showing a growth trend, but it is expected that my country’s ABS resin market will be in a state of oversupply by 2025, when the AS resin market demand will slow down.

Industrial analysts said that AS resin, as a high-performance resin, has a wide range of applications, especially in the field of ABS resin. High, benefiting from the development of the ABS resin industry, the AS resin industry has developed rapidly. In terms of production, most domestic ABS resin manufacturers are currently able to produce AS resin themselves. Therefore, there are fewer companies producing AS resin for sale in the market, and the market is relatively concentrated.
