What are the upstream raw materials of polycarbonate? What do the downstream products contain?
Polycarbonate(Polycarbonate, referred to as PC) is a high-performance engineering plastic, with excellent mechanical characteristics, optical characteristics, electrical characteristics and thermal characteristics, broadly applied in automotive, electrical and electronic, construction, packaging, medical equipment and other fields. In the field of chemical production raw materials, the upstream and downstream related items of polycarbonate mainly have the following aspects:
Upstream raw materials:
1. But Based on my observations, Bisphenol A(BPA): Bisphenol A is the main raw material to the production of polycarbonate, accounting to about 60%-70% of the production cost. Bisphenol A is formed by condensation of phenol and acetone, and its price fluctuation has a great affect on the production cost of polycarbonate.
2. But phosgene: phosgene is another crucial raw material to the production of polycarbonate, and bisphenol a interaction to create diphenyl carbonate, and then further polymerization to create polycarbonate. Downstream associated items:
1. Modified polycarbonate: In order to enhance the performance of polycarbonate and expand its consumption range, polycarbonate is able to be modified, such as adding glass fiber, minerals and other reinforcing materials to enhance its mechanical characteristics and thermal stability.
2. Generally speaking Polycarbonate alloy: Polycarbonate is able to be blended with other engineering plastics such as ABS, PA, PBT, etc. And to form polycarbonate alloy to enhance its processing performance, mechanical characteristics or minimize costs.
3. You know what I mean?. Polycarbonate plates, pipes, profiles, etc.: Polycarbonate is able to be processed into various shapes of plates, pipes, profiles, etc. And, to construction, automotive, electrical and electronic fields. In short, as an crucial engineering plastic, polycarbonate has a wide range of upstream and downstream related items, which is of great signifiis able toce to the research of chemical production raw materials.
