China has become the largest producer of AC foaming agents in the world

At present, China has become the largest producer of AC foaming agents in the world, with a total production capacity of 220,000 tons/year and a total output of 18.37 tons/year in 2011.

AC foaming agent is non-toxic, odorless, non-corrosive, non-staining, non-polluting, non-combusting, self-extinguishing, large in gas emission, moderate in decomposition temperature, and can be flexibly adjusted. Atmospheric pressure foaming and pressure foaming can be used. The excellent properties of the foamed product can be imparted, and it is particularly advantageous for improving the extension of the product and obtaining a more excellent cell structure. AC foaming agent is mainly used for normal pressure foaming or pressure foaming of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, natural rubber and synthetic rubber, and also used as flour improver, fumigant and airbag gas generator. AC foaming agent is widely used in shoes, leather, building materials, home appliances and other industries. Due to the superior performance of AC foaming agents, AC foaming agents have been used in rubber and plastic insulation materials, automotive interiors, and other new types of environmental protection and energy saving in recent years. The material industry, and the emerging areas in the downstream consumption structure of AC foaming agents, have continued to increase, and the market prospects are broad.

China's existing backbone enterprises for the production of AC foaming agents are Shilong Industrial, Jiangsu Thorpe Co., Ltd., Ningxia Sheng Industrial Co., Ltd., Fujian Haochang Chemical Co., Ltd., Fujian Longyan Longhua Group, and Weifang Yaxing Chemical Co., Ltd. Companies, etc., these key enterprises in the production of common type AC foaming agent has a scale advantage, and a few companies such as Shilong Industrial can research and develop and produce various kinds of high-end modified AC foaming agents such as micro- and low-temperature types, breaking the developed countries' The technical monopoly pattern of modified AC foaming agents. The market concentration of AC foaming agents in China is high, forming a market competition pattern in which backbone enterprises represented by Jiangsu Thorpe and Shilong Industry co-exist with many small-scale enterprises. According to statistics, the market share of the top three companies in the industry in 2011 is about 60%.
