ACR is commonly used in the industry and many people do not understand it. What do you know about the market demand of ACR?
ACR material products are essential to our life and work. Due to the wide use of ACR materials, the market demand for ACR products is also growing. As a result, the plastic processing industry is more actively looking for effective methods and filling materials. In order to reduce production cost, improve product process level and improve production efficiency. At present, the commonly used impact modifiers for PVC are acrylic acid (ACR), Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE), methyl methacrylate / butadiene / styrene copolymer (MBS), ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene copolymer (ABS)), among which ACR Impact Modifier has the best overall performance. It can effectively control the melt fracture, promote the plasticization of PVC and improve the plasticization quality.
ACR was first developed by Rhom & Haas in the 1950s as a Processing Aid and Impact Modifier for PVC. Because PVC with ACR has the advantages of processability, tensile strength, modulus, high thermal deformation temperature and excellent weather resistance, the consumption of ACR in the world has increased rapidly in recent years. In the United States, the amount of ACR has exceeded MBS, making it the largest impact modifier for PVC resin. In 1991, the United States consumed about 32000 tons, accounting for 34% of the total sales of impact modifiers. By 1996, the consumption of ACR in the United States had reached 47000 tons, with an average annual growth rate of 8%, accounting for 17.1% of the total sales of impact modifier. According to the current development trend, the demand for ACR will remain relatively low in the future. High growth rates, especially in developing countries. Due to the strong demand for housing, the construction industry will continue to grow because ACR is particularly suitable for PVC profiles and pipes. The demand of chemical building materials for PVC hard products will grow rapidly. These PVC used for building products, especially outdoor PVC, have high requirements for outdoor aging resistance, and ACR needs to be widely used, which will promote its rapid growth. ACR needs in developing countries.
