Project name: Optical grade polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) particle project

construction unit: Zhuhai Xintao Optical Materials Co., Ltd.

Construction address: northwest side of petrochemical 8th road and southwest side of pingwan 5th road, petrochemical zone, nanshui town, jinwan district, Zhuhai city

project Nature: New

total investment of the project: the total investment of the project is 0.7 billion yuan, of which environmental protection investment is 12.5625 million yuan, accounting for 1.79 of the total investment.

Production scale: This project plans to build two polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) particle production lines to produce polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) particles through mixing degassing, pre-polymerization, polymerization, devolatilization extrusion, granulation drying and other processes, with an estimated annual output of 120000 tons of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) particles.

Floor space: total floor area of 53680.73 m2, construction area of 24366.1m2

PMMA market demand and competition pattern

as a high-performance material, optical grade PMMA is widely used in many fields, such as optics, electronics, medical equipment and so on. With the rapid development of the global market, especially in China, the demand for PMMA continues to rise, with an annual consumption of nearly 600000 tons. However, the high-end optical grade PMMA market is still dominated by a few international giants. Chinese local companies have insufficient production capacity in the high-end field and need to import a large amount to meet market demand.

PMMA Industry Status and Challenges

although China's PMMA industry is developing rapidly, it is facing a surplus of low-end products and high-end products rely on imports. In order to achieve industrial upgrading, domestic enterprises such as Wanhua Chemical are actively improving their independent production capacity and launching high-quality optical-grade PMMA products. In the next two years, China plans to add multiple sets of PMMA devices, which is expected to further expand production capacity, especially for high-end products.

PMMA Technology Innovation and Industrial Upgrading

in order to cope with the global high-end market competition, China's PMMA industry is increasing investment in technology research and development, committed to the development of low haze, high purity, multi-functional composite optical grade PMMA products. At the same time, the introduction of advanced continuous bulk polymerization process, precision molding technology and intelligent manufacturing system, promote the production process automation, intelligent, improve production capacity and economic benefits. The successful practice of Wanhua Chemical and other enterprises has set a benchmark for the industry and led the new direction of industrial upgrading.

Prospect of PMMA

looking to the future, with the popularity of 5G communication technology and the rapid development of new display technology, automotive lightweight and other fields, the demand for optical-grade PMMA materials will continue to grow. China's PMMA industry will continue to make breakthroughs in technological innovation, industrial upgrading and green environmental protection, gradually narrow the gap with the international advanced level, and contribute to the prosperity and development of the global PMMA market. At the same time, the gradual expansion of domestic high-end optical grade PMMA production capacity will also provide more abundant choices for downstream industries to meet the diversified needs of the market.
