Non-ionic cellulose ether is an important chemical material required by the building materials industry and the coating industry. At present, under the background of the continuous increase in the total output value of the domestic construction industry and the continuous expansion of the coatings market, its market demand continues to grow.
Cellulose ether refers to a polymer compound with an ether structure made of cellulose. It is soluble in water, dilute alkali solution and organic solvent, and has thermos-plasticity. It is widely used in food, medicine, daily chemical, construction, textile, petroleum, chemical, it is widely used in coatings, electronics and other fields. According to different ionization properties, cellulose ethers can be divided into three categories: non-ionic cellulose ethers, ionic cellulose ethers, and mixed cellulose ethers.
Compared with ionic and mixed cellulose ethers, non-ionic cellulose ethers have better temperature resistance, salt resistance, water solubility, chemical stability, lower cost and more mature process, and can be used as film-forming agents, Emulsifiers, thickeners, water retaining agents, binders, stabilizers and other chemical additives are widely used in construction, coatings, daily chemicals, food, textiles and other fields, and the market has broad prospects for development. At present, the common non-ionic cellulose ethers mainly include hydroxypropyl methyl (HPMC), hydroxyethyl methyl (HEMC), methyl (MC), hydroxypropyl (HPC), hydroxyethyl (HEC) and so on.
Nonionic cellulose ether is an important chemical material required by the building materials industry and the coatings industry. Currently, the market demand for it continues to grow under the background of the continuous increase in the total output value of the domestic construction industry and the continuous expansion of the coatings market. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the total output value of the national construction industry in the first three quarters of 2022 was 20624.6 billion yuan, an increase of 7.8% compared with the same period last year. In this context, according to the “2023-2028 China Nonionic Cellulose Ether Industry Application Market Demand and Development Opportunity Research Report” released by Xin si jie Industry Research Center, the sales volume of the domestic nonionic cellulose ether market in 2022 will reach 172,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.2%.
Among them, HEC is one of the mainstream products in the domestic non-ionic cellulose ether market. It refers to a chemical product prepared from cotton pulp as raw material through alkalization, etherification, and post-treatment. It has been used in construction, Japan, etc. Chemical, environmental protection and other fields can be widely used. Driven by the continuous growth of demand, the production technology level of domestic HEC enterprises is constantly improving. Many leading enterprises with technology and scale advantages have emerged, such as Yi Teng New Materials, Yin Ying New Materials, and TAIAN Rui tai, and some of the core products of these enterprises have reached the international level. advanced level. Driven by the rapid development of market segments in the future, the development trend of the domestic non-ionic cellulose ether industry will be positive.
Xin Si Jie industry analysts said that non-ionic cellulose ether is a kind of polymer material with excellent performance and wide application. Driven by the rapid development of its market, the number of domestic enterprises in this field is increasing. The main enterprises include Hebei SHUANG NIU, Tai An Rui Tai, Shandong Yi Teng, Shang Yu Chuang Feng, North Tian Pu, Shandong He da, etc., the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. In this context, the homogeneity of domestic non-ionic cellulose ether products is becoming more and more prominent. In the future, local companies need to speed up the research and development of high-end and differentiated products, and the industry has a huge room for growth.
